May 7, 2008 (Washington, DC) — A large neuroimaging study found that in attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), brain development follows a normal trajectory, but maturation of the prefrontal ...

Elaine Pinggal from Monash University, and colleagues assessed how sleep-like brain activity in awake adults influences sustained attention during a task. The researchers compared sleep-like brain ...

A new study suggests that children with ADHD may exhibit a distinctive, measurable pattern of brain activity that could reflect differences in neural efficiency. The researchers focus on aperiodic EEG ...

A couple of years ago, Jan Haavik was at a routine meeting of a research group that connects scientists studying attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with people who live with the condition ...

Stimulants prescribed for ADHD target the parts of the brain related to wakefulness and reward, shown in yellow and orange, according to a new study. Benjamin Kay In the United States, an estimated ...

Last month I posted an essay linking the dramatic increase in diagnosed ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) to our increasingly restrictive system of schooling (see ADHD and School). I ...

The classic image of a child with ADHD is practically a stock character: the spacey kid staring out the window, distracted by squirrels; the fidgeter who can’t sit still, a leg rattling under the desk ...

Scientists are updating their view of how drugs like Adderall and Ritalin help children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder stay on task. The latest evidence is a study of thousands of brain ...

(How to determine if you’re at risk for adult ADHD.) Clinically, this group most closely resembles what many people think of as “classic” ADHD—but amplified. Compared with the control group, these ...

Topographic maps of the brain show the spatial representation of activity. The topographic maps shown highlight the density distributions of sleep-like (slow wave) activity across the scalp for the ...
