Juan Diego Vera; René Freichel; Giorgia Michelini; Sandra K. Loo; Agatha Lenartowicz – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Objective: ADHD is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity. Impairments in executive functioning (EF) are central to models of ADHD, while alpha-band spectral power event-related decreases (ERD) have emerged as a putative electroencephalography (EEG) biomarker of EF in ADHD.…

Erica Jostrup; Emma Claesdotter-Knutsson; Pia Tallberg; Göran Söderlund; Peik Gustafsson; Marcus Nyström – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Background: White noise stimulation has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing working memory in children with ADHD. However, its impact on other executive functions commonly affected by ADHD, such as inhibitory control, remains largely unexplored. This research aims to explore the effects of two types of white noise stimulation on oculomotor…

Objective: We leveraged common genetic variation underlying ADHD, educational attainment (EA) and cognition (COG) to understand the nature of the Behavior Rating Inventory for Executive Functions (BRIEF) and its relationship to academic functioning. Method: Participants were 991 youth, ages 7 to 17, consecutively referred for neuropsychiatric…

Timothy E. Wilens; Mira Stone; Sylvia Lanni; Amy Berger; Ronan L. H. Wilson; Melis Lydston; Craig B. Surman – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2024
Introduction: Executive function (EF) deficits are common in youth with ADHD and pose significant functional impairments. The extent and effect of interventions addressing EF in youth with ADHD remain unclear. Methods: We conducted a systematic literature review using PRISMA guidelines. Included studies were randomized controlled trials of…

Tasmia Hai; Rose Swansburg; Cynthia K. Kahl; Hannah Frank; Kayla Stone; Jean-François Lemay; Frank P. MacMaster – Journal of Attention Disorders, 2022
Objective: We investigated the right Superior Frontal Gyrus (right-SFG) and Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC) in children with ADHD and their clinical relevance with Executive Function (EF) and ADHD symptom severity. Methods: About 26 children with ADHD and 24 typically developing children (TDC; 7--16 years) underwent Magnetic Resonance Imaging…
