Investigating ADHD subtypes in children using temporal dynamics of the electroencephalogram (EEG) microstates *

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder in children, usually categorized as three predominant subtypes, persistent inattention (ADHD-I), hyperactivity-impulsivity (ADHD-HI) and a combination of both (ADHD-C). Identifying reliable features...
In summary, this work carefully leveraged EEG temporal dynamics to investigate the aberrant microstate features in ADHDs and provided a new window to look into the subtle differences between ADHD subtypes, which may help to assist precision diagnosis in future.Clinical Relevance— This work established the use of EEG microstate features to...
Impact of a Behavioral Sleep Intervention in Adolescents With ADHD: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effectiveness From a Pilot Open Trial - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34738484/
Objective: An open trial tested the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a behavioral sleep intervention in adolescents with ADHD. Method: Fourteen adolescents (ages 13-17 years; 50% male) with ADHD...
Conclusion: "This study provides strong preliminary evidence that TranS-C improves sleep and associated outcomes in adolescents with ADHD and co-occurring sleep problems. A randomized controlled trial is needed to rigorously test the efficacy of TranS-C in this population."

Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood-onset psychiatric disorder characterized by inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. ADHD exhibits substantial heritability, with rare monogenic variants contributing to its pathogenesis. Here we...
"Late-onset" ADHD symptoms in young adulthood: is this the same as child-onset ADHD?
Objective: We investigated whether "late-onset" ADHD that emerges in adolescence/adulthood is similar in risk factor profile to: 1) child-onset ADHD, but emerges later because of scaffolding/compensation from childhood resources; and...
Conclusions: Late-onset ADHD shares characteristics with child-onset ADHD when parent-rated, but differences for self-reports require investigation. Childhood resources may delay the onset of ADHD.
