Over the last fifty years extraordinary scientific progress has been attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) science on a number of levels. First, finding the best way to characterise the condition. Second, understanding...
Conclusions: Relevance: In this special issue, we bring two under-researched aspects of ADHD translational science together—the need for more precise targeting of specific features and characteristics and, at the same time the need to broaden the focus away from core symptoms to other aspects of functioning. These separate ambitions should...
Evaluation of fronto-cerebellar neurometabolites in youth with ADHD compared to the healthy group and their associations with cognitive and behavioral characteristics: A proton magnetic spectroscopy study

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by specific cognitive and behavioral symptoms. A fronto-cerebellar circuit is implicated in ADHD, and despite its...

Conclusions: These results suggest that alterations in fronto-cerebellar metabolites may be related to cognitive and behavioral deficits in ADHD, and also, our findings highlight that the cerebellum may be involved in the pathophysiology of ADHD.
The development of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Child and Youth (ICF-CY) Core Sets: a systematic review

Abstract The aim of this systematic review is to verify the development of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for Child and Youth (ICF-CY), investigating methodology and how...

Conclusions: "Conclusions: After 15 years since the adoption of ICF-CY, it still finds some barriers to use. Concrete actions should be taken to develop further core sets following a rigorous methodology and to contribute implementing the ICF framework."
Association between long-term ambient ozone exposure and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms among Chinese children

Although ozone exposure has neurological toxicity, it remains unclear whether it was associated with an increased risk of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) among childhood. We matched the four-year average ozone concentration...
/>
Conclusions: Long-term ozone exposure may be associated with increased ADHD among children. Additional studies are needed to validate our findings and support policies and interventions to address this growing public health concern.
