Summary: Male adults diagnosed with AD/HD exhibit different EEG characteristics compared to male controls, while no global effects were observed between females with and without AD/HD. The study suggests significant gender differences in EEG activity between males and females with AD/HD.

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 aimed to measure individual differences in the cognitive mechanisms underlying ADHD traits in adults using a newly developed online cognitive battery. The results showed that attentional control, information gathering, and shifting explained unique variance in self-reported ADHD traits, with potential implications for genetic and neurobiological research on adult ADHD.

Summary: The study found that in A-ADHD-SUD patients, the treatment retention rate was the same as in A-ADHD patients without SUD, suggesting that substance use comorbidity does not have an influence on this clinical parameter.

Summary: The study discovered associations between social communication abilities and distributed cortical and subcortical networks implicated in social behaviors, language, attention, memory, and executive functions, as well as three data-driven, diagnosis-agnostic subgroups based on the patterns of association in these networks.

Summary: This study used electroencephalography to identify abnormal crossmodal activation in adult ADHD patients. The results showed an increased P200 amplitude in the visual channel of ADHD patients. Behavioral data analysis revealed poorer performance and higher discrimination thresholds in ADHD patients. Moreover, a negative correlation was found between the P200 component and sensation seeking behavior.

Summary: This paper proposes the EEG-Transformer deep learning model based on the traditional Transformer model, which can be used as an auxiliary tool for clinical diagnosis of ADHD and provides a basic model for transferable learning in the field of EEG signal classification.

Summary: In summary, studies suggest that GXR is an effective monotherapy treatment option for adults with ADHD, with positive effects on attention, emotion, and behavior through its activity at post-synaptic alpha 2A receptors.

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 C3a receptor plays a crucial role in neurodevelopment and cognitive functions in the adult brain, with its deficiency associated with abnormalities in neurodevelopment, including short-term memory deficits and increased locomotor activity.

Summary: The study compared demographic, clinical, and symptomatologic features between Dual Disorder A-ADHD (DD/A-ADHD) patients and those without dual disorders (NDD/A-ADHD). Results showed that NDD patients were more likely diagnosed with inattentive ADHD subtype, while DD/A-ADHD patients displayed more severe symptoms of hyperactivity/impulsivity. Type 1 and Type 2 substance use patterns had different effects on A-ADHD patients, leading to varied implications in diagnostic and therapeutic processes.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the ASRS in the Czech Republic. The results showed that the Czech translation of the ASRS is appropriate and has acceptable psychometric properties. However, it is recommended to use this tool together with clinical judgment.

Summary: The study found that relying solely on parent-rated ADHD or impairment at age 3 could moderately well predict children with persistent elevated ADHD symptoms at age 5, but also resulted in many false positives. A small group of children who scored above cut-off on both parent-rated ADHD and impairment, as well as teacher-rated ADHD symptoms, were found, with higher positive predictive values for boys. It is recommended to monitor not only this small group of children, but also children with parent-reported ADHD symptoms and/or impairment closely to prevent delays in providing interventions.

Summary: ADHD symptoms exacerbate the impact of procrastination and internalizing symptoms on emotional burden, but do not enhance the association between procrastination and internalizing symptoms. Procrastination should be the treatment target for individuals with ADHD and comorbid internalizing symptoms.

Summary: This study used resting-state functional connectivity analysis to investigate the neural pathways between internet addiction tendency and sleep quality, and found a positive correlation between internet addiction tendency and the strength of functional connectivity within the default-mode network. Furthermore, internet addiction tendency mediated the relationship between these functional couplings and sleep quality.

Summary: In this study, electroencephalogram data was analyzed to compare the resting network activation between heavy media multitaskers (HMM) and light media multitaskers (LMM). The results showed that HMM had weaker activation in the attention network, but enhanced activation in the salience network. They also had an enhanced visual network and may feel less comfortable during resting-state periods. This suggests that chronic media multitasking leads to a bottom-up or stimulus-driven allocation of attention for HMM, while LMM use a top-down approach.
