A dangerous and addictive drug has now infiltrated Massachusetts communities. Disguised as Adderall, the popular stimulant used to treat ADHD, methamphetamine is now popping up across Massachusetts in pressed pill form.

In addition to higher-order executive functions, underlying sensory processing ability is also thought to play an important role in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). An event-related potential feature, the mismatch negativity, reflects the ability of automatic sensory change processing and may be correlated with AD/HD symptoms and executive functions. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of visual mismatch negativity (vMMN) in adults with AD/HD. Twenty eight adults ...

Researchers now say ADHD may increase the risk for depression, anorexia -- even suicide. Dr. Alice Connors-Kellgren, a clinical psychologist at Tufts Medical Center, answers questions.

Improving neurocognitive functions through remote interventions has been a promising approach to developing new treatments for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD). Remote neurocognitive interventions may address the shortcomings of the current prevailing pharmacological therapies for AD/HD, e.g., side effects and access barriers. Here we review the current options for remote neurocognitive interventions to reduce AD/HD symptoms, including cognitive training, EEG neurofeedback traini...

The FDA says the shortage is expected to last another 30 to 60 days. It’s happening in part due to surging demand for Adderall and manufacturing delays.

This study investigated age-related changes in the EEG of subtypes of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) compared with neurotypical controls, using an eyes-open resting condition. Two hundred and twenty five children between the ages of 5 and 16 years participated in this study. Groups consisted of AD/HD of the combined (AD/HDcom) and inattentive (AD/HDin) types, which were compared with controls for each of three age ranges: Young (5–8 years), Middle (9–12 years), and Old (13�...

There is an increasing interest in non-pharmacological treatments for children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), especially digital techniques that can be remotely delivered, such as neurofeedback (NFT) and computerized cognitive training (CCT). In this study, a randomized controlled design was used to compare training outcomes between remotely delivered NFT, CCT, and combined NFT/CCT training approaches. A total of 121 children with AD/HD were randomly assigned to the NFT, ...

The current study used behavioural and electroencephalograph measures to compare the transferability of three home-based interventions - cognitive training (CT), neurofeedback training (NFT), and CT combined with NFT - for reducing symptoms in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD). Following a multiple-baseline single-case experimental design, twelve children were randomised to a training condition. Each child completed a baseline phase, followed by an intervention phase...
