Objectives: The purpose of this theoretical analysis of current research on ADHD is to provide an account integrating executive functional profiles with its broader structural neurodevelopmental profile. Methods: Comparative theoretical analyses between executive functional deficit disorder models of ADHD and results from default mode network fMRI data. This was followed by an analysis of the temporal profile of ADHD and phase synchronous neural assemblies. Results: Comparative analyses suggest ...

ADHD medication for adults reliably helps to control symptoms — when patients take their prescription regularly, which few do. Learn how to improve treatment adherence here.

Supplementation of omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 LCPUFA) may enhance self-regulation (SR) and executive functioning (EF) in children of preschool age. The aim of the Omega Kid Study was to investigate the effect of n-3 LCPUFA supplementation on SR and EF in typically developing preschool-aged children. A double-blind placebo-controlled pilot trial was undertaken, the intervention was 12 weeks and consisted of 1.6 g of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DH...

Despite a tendency to study executive function (EF) and self-regulation (SR) separately, parallel lines of research suggest considerable overlap between the two abilities. Specifically, both show similar developmental trajectories (i.e., develop rapidly in the early years), predict a broad range of overlapping outcomes across the lifespan (e.g., academic success, mental and physical health, and social competence), and have overlapping neural substrates (e.g., prefrontal cortex). While theoretica...
