Summary: This study aimed to determine whether a multimodal assessment of motor skills could accurately discriminate autistic children from ADHD and TD peers. The results showed that the developmental coordination disorder questionnaire (DCDQ) Caregiver Report, MABC2/NEPSY-II scores, and kinematic variables can be used to differentiate between autistic children, ADHD children, and typically developing children. Motor Imitation and Fine-Motor Skills were predictive factors for distinguishing autism from TD, while Caregiver Report and Object Interception and Balance were predictive factors for differentiating ADHD from TD.

Summary: ADHD is a complex psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorder that develops during childhood and spans into adulthood. Research findings indicate that genetic variants associated with iron deficiency anemia, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and other factors increase the risk of developing ADHD in children, while genetic factors related to social support and interactive activities have a protective effect against ADHD.

Summary: Hyperfocus and flow are intense concentration experiences associated with reduced perception of irrelevant stimuli and improved task performance. Hyperfocus has been historically seen as a symptom of ADHD, autism, or schizophrenia, while flow is regarded as an enjoyable experience in positive psychology. Recent studies suggest that hyperfocus and flow may be the same phenomenon viewed from different perspectives.

Summary: The study findings suggest that PSTI is effective and helpful for Indian families dealing with ADHD. Parents' perceptions indicate that PSTI helps increase awareness, reduce guilt, improve parent-child relations, and decrease stress, though some parents reported difficulty in sustaining the strategies.

Summary: This study provides a systematic review and analysis of the effectiveness of electroencephalogram-based neurofeedback (EEG-NF) in treating the core symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in adolescents/adults. The results suggest that EEG-NF can effectively improve inattention symptoms, but its effectiveness in reducing hyperactivity/impulsivity remains inconclusive.

Summary: This study examined the diagnostic indicators, clinical characteristics, and functional impairment associated with adult ADHD using electronic medical records and self-report measures. The results showed a significant difference in prevalence of ADHD between self-report screening and medical records. ADHD was found to contribute to functional impairment even when controlling for other psychiatric comorbidities.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the association between ADGRL3 gene variants and ADHD susceptibility in children and adults, finding significant correlation in children but not in adults. The results suggest that ADGRL3 gene is predominantly associated with childhood ADHD.

Summary: The study compared motor milestone acquisition among Typically Developing, ADHD, and DCD children, finding that despite concurrent motor impairments, the ADHD group achieved milestones within typical timeframes without a direct association between motor ability and ADHD characteristics. Latent Profile Analysis revealed similarities in motor milestone achievement, motor ability, and ADHD characteristics between some children in the ADHD and DCD groups, highlighting the heterogeneity of the ADHD phenotype.

Summary: Inattention is a key symptom of ADHD, but the mechanisms underlying it are unclear. More specific approaches are needed to link disruptions in cognitive performance with ADHD behaviors. A pilot study found that even typically developing children did not maximally extract and combine information to maximize rewards in a cognitive task targeting attention selection mechanisms.

Summary: This study found that children with ADHD have a higher risk of central precocious puberty. Early referral to a pediatric endocrinologist for evaluation can lead to correct diagnosis. Early intervention treatment with gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist may improve final height in children with central precocious puberty.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of pharmacotherapy on suicide risk in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). The results indicated that ADHD medication may reduce the risk of suicide, while mood stabilizers and antidepressants may increase the risk. The findings suggest that benzodiazepines should be used with caution due to their association with increased suicide risk in patients with BPD.

Summary: This longitudinal study examined the development of children's complex executive function (EF) using the Groton Maze Learning Task (GMLT). A total of 147 children (61 males, ages 5.5-11 years) were recruited from six multicultural primary schools in Melbourne and Perth, Australia. The study spanned from 2010 to 2012, with assessments on the GMLT conducted every 6 months. Growth curve models indicated a quadratic growth trajectory in each measure of error, reflecting visuospatial memory, executive control, and complex EF. The ability to apply rules for action, a key aspect of complex EF, developed rapidly during early-to-mid childhood.

Summary: Despite its popularity, the mechanism underlying mindfulness meditation has rarely been explored. Two preliminary studies provide support for the hypothesis that the effect of guided mindfulness meditation on empathic concern arises from an induced state of mindfulness.

Summary: Research has shown that spontaneous visual coupling supports frequency entrainment, phase attraction, and intermittent interpersonal coordination during the switch from a novision (NV) to vision (V) context among co-actors. The experiments demonstrate that similar self-paced frequencies result from same amplitude movements, while different amplitudes lead to disparate frequencies. In experiment 1, co-actors were instructed to maintain amplitude without explicit instructions for coordination, which limited frequency and phase entrainment in the V context. In experiment 2, co-actors were instructed to maintain amplitude and intentionally coordinate together, resulting in significant frequency modulations and the production of various stable relative phase patterns.
