Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder01:30

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

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.
Human Genetics01:28

Human Genetics

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...
Classification of Neurotransmitters01:30

Classification of Neurotransmitters

Neurotransmitters play a crucial role in the communication between neurons in the autonomic nervous system. Neurons in the autonomic nervous system can be cholinergic or adrenergic depending on the neurotransmitters synthesized. Cholinergic neurons use acetylcholine as their primary neurotransmitter. This includes all the preganglionic fibers of the sympathetic and pre- and postganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic nervous systems. In addition, neurons of the somatic nervous system also use...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence

Background:

  • Family history is a significant risk factor for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
  • Understanding the distinct neuropathological underpinnings of familial ADHD (ADHD-F) and non-familial ADHD (ADHD-NF) is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Previous research has not fully investigated the neural differences between these ADHD subtypes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify unique structural and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based neural signatures differentiating ADHD-F, ADHD-NF, and controls.
  • To apply a deep learning framework to robustly discriminate between ADHD subtypes and controls.
  • To explore potential distinct neural targets for ADHD-F and ADHD-NF.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized an autoencoder-based deep learning architecture within a binary hypothesis framework.
  • Employed structural and diffusion MRI data from 129 children with ADHD-F, 159 with ADHD-NF, and 150 matched controls.
  • Implemented nested leave-one-out and five-fold cross-validation for robust model evaluation, assessing classification accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC.

Main Results:

  • The deep learning model achieved moderate classification accuracies (62.0-67.0%) and AUCs (65.6-67.6%) in discriminating between ADHD subtypes and controls.
  • Key neural signatures for ADHD-F vs. controls included mean diffusivity (MD) in the right fornix and left parahippocampal cingulum, and cortical thickness in the right inferior parietal cortex.
  • Distinguishing features for ADHD-NF vs. controls involved fractional anisotropy (FA) in the left inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus and MD in the right fornix.
  • Discriminating ADHD-F from ADHD-NF highlighted differences in the volume of the left cingulate cingulum tract and right parietal segment of the superior longitudinal fasciculus, alongside cortical thickness in the right fusiform cortex.

Conclusions:

  • The developed deep learning framework successfully discriminated between familial and non-familial ADHD using neuroimaging data.
  • Identified distinct neural features associated with ADHD-F and ADHD-NF, suggesting different underlying neuropathology.
  • These validated neural features hold potential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies for ADHD subtypes.
