Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

294
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Psychology
  • Developmental Disorders

Background:

  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder.
  • ADHD is characterized by significant inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, impacting daily functioning.
  • Despite its name, a consistent neurocognitive marker for attention deficits in ADHD remains elusive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize selective visual attention functioning in individuals with ADHD.
  • To review studies comparing ADHD and healthy control groups on behavioral and neural levels.
  • To explore the role of visual attention in explaining ADHD heterogeneity and neurobiology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of previous studies comparing individuals with ADHD and healthy controls.
  • Analysis of behavioral and neural data from single-frame visual search tasks.
  • Narrative review approach to synthesize existing research.

Main Results:

  • Evidence suggests both bottom-up (stimulus-driven) and top-down (goal-driven) attention are affected in ADHD.
  • These attentional deficits may occur across both temporal and spatial domains.
  • Specific underlying mechanisms require further investigation.

Conclusions:

  • Selective visual attention is crucial for understanding ADHD's complex symptoms and impairments.
  • Studying visual attention can bridge the gap between ADHD behaviors and neurobiological underpinnings.
  • Further research is essential to elucidate the precise mechanisms involved.
