Better characterization of attention and hyperactivity/impulsivity in children with ADHD: The key to understanding the underlying white matter microstructure
Source : https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0925492722001251?via=ihub
The apparent increase in the prevalence of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) diagnosis raises many questions regarding the variabili...
Conclusions/Relevance: We support the existing hypothesis that ADHD originates from a developmental error and propose that it could lead to an accumulation in time of abnormalities in WM microstructure and pathways. Finally, state-of-the-art diffusion processing and novel artificial intelligence approaches would be beneficial to fully...
Eye movement behavior in a real-world virtual reality task reveals ADHD in children - Scientific Reports
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-24552-4
Eye movements and other rich data obtained in virtual reality (VR) environments resembling situations where symptoms are manifested could help in the objective detection of various symptoms in clinical conditions....
Conclusions/Relevance: We demonstrated that a naturalistic VR task combined with eye tracking allows accurate prediction of attention deficits, paving the way for precision diagnostics.
Math difficulties in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder do not originate from the visual number sense
Source : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2022.949391/full
There is ample evidence from literature and clinical practice indicating mathematical difficulties in individuals with ADHD, even when there is no concomitant diagnosis of developmental dyscalculia. What factors underlie these...
Conclusion: Overall, these results indicate that math difficulties in ADHD are unlikely to originate from an impaired visual number sense.

Relevance: There is still no basic overview about the effect of various types of comorbidity in executive functions due to two main reasons: (1) the type and number of comorbidities in ADHD is significantly varied, (2) EFs are very diverse and have different neuropsychological properties. Our objective was to determine the effect of comorbid...
The Association Between Autistic Traits and Serum Testosterone, Oxytocin and Androstenedione Levels in Prepubertal Male Drug Naive Children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - PubMed

Conclusion: This study suggests that patients who have higher autistic traits have elevated testosterone and androstenedione levels and lower serum oxytocin levels. Further studies are needed to clarify this relationship.
