Mental training enhances attentional stability: neural and behavioral evidence.

19 Oct 2009 The capacity to stabilize the content of attention over time varies among individuals, and its impairment is a hallmark of several mental illnesses. Impairments in sustained attention in patients with attention disorders have been associated with ... Read more...

Dopaminergic haplotype as a predictor of spatial inattention in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

29 Sep 2009 CONTEXT: A distinct pattern of selective attention deficits in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been difficult to identify. Heterogeneity may reflect differences in underlying genetics. OBJECTIVE: To document an objective deficit ... Read more...

An FMRI study of the effects of psychostimulants on default-mode processing during Stroop task performance in youths with ADHD.

13 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: The authors examined the effect of psychostimulants on brain activity in children and adolescents with ADHD performing the Stroop Color and Word Test. METHOD: The authors acquired 52 functional MRI scans in 16 youths with ADHD who were ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Attention Deficit Disorder with Hyperactivity'

Definition: A behavior disorder originating in childhood in which the essential features are signs of developmentally inappropriate inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. Although most individuals have symptoms of both inattention and hyperactivity-impulsivity, one or the other pattern may be predominant. The disorder is more frequent in males than females. Onset is in childhood. Symptoms often attenuate during late adolescence although a minority experience the full complement of symptoms into mid-adulthood. (From DSM-IV)
