Neurotherapies for ADHD

- Опубликовано: 25 ноя 2024
- Thirty years ago, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) was still by many considered a myth of naughty children suffering from poor parenting. The past 3 decades of neuroimaging, however, have shown that ADHD is associated with differences in brain structure and function, and ADHD is therefore now considered a neurodevelopmental disorder.
One of the most revolutionary insights we gained from neuroimaging is that the brain is extremely plastic- even in adulthood- with a bidirectional pathway between brain and behaviour. This insight has led to the advent of neurotherapies that can modify brain function abnormalities and with that, behaviour.
The talk will review brain structure and function abnormalities in ADHD, discuss neuroplasticity, and review recent brain modulation therapies such as fMRI-neurofeedback and non-invasive brain stimulation such as transcranial magnetic, direct current and trigeminal nerve stimulation.

Thank you so much
ADHD is more prevalent in boys?
Do you know why? Because it's massively under-diagnosed in girls since they get less referrals.
Please if you share data, share the context.
Exactly spot on Rita! This really made me angry. Alot of girls/women suppress their symptoms and are under diagnosed or not believed. I really don't appreciate how people with ADHD are generalized and addressed with 'they'. People with ADHD are on a spectrum and all different.
Likely because girls have better prefrontal cortex
Ignores very large amount of research on eeg neurofeedback that is not new.....and does provide some answers to the statement We don't know...well...we do, but appreciate there is a significant amount of research out there.
What form of meditation was employed?
Hi, I'm a 2E with an IQ of 147 and an ADHD diagnosis that still affects me today at age 38; in fact, there are many people with ADHD that have tested in the superior range and above. So, I would love to meet your "expert" and have her explain to me how exactly she came up with the conclusion that people with ADHD have low IQ's over the course of her analysis. Maybe you should go check out Thomas E. Brown's work.
wrong analysis probably, nearly all clever people have ADHD because of the high activity of brain
All that IQ and you still don't understand how averages and outliers work.
IQ doubtfully measures something of value. The field places weight on it because it serves a variety of discriminatory purposes. There are more effective methods to teach ADHD individuals but they're consistently ignored by the 'academia'. Dietary changes can actually can do a lot, but the attrition of skepticals and powerful professionals delay any discovery meanwhile they probably earn much more money than we can fathom just to play these games. My trust in them has gone down to zero since I started studying for an an MSc. I love science and I am shocked by the political work of 'scientists' who push political and pharmaceutical agendas.
@@ot8479 "wrong analysis probably, nearly all clever people have ADHD because of the high activity of brain" this is simply no true, having a high iq doesn't make you think more restlessly, you just think more efficiently and solve problems more easily.
"IQ doubtfully measures something of value." -> IQ is the greatest "invention" if you can call it that by psychology. No other measure has been more replicated in its validity and importance (in virtually all human societies).
IQ tests do not always perfectly measure g (Spearman g = general intelligence), but it is the best tool we currently have and nothing better has been yet proposed as replacement.
The fact that you sincerely believe that the whole psychology system is maintained to serve discriminatory purposes and to fuel Big Pharma's greed is beyond my comprehension. The level of paranoia...
What are You working with right now?
Shame, I am studying CAMH and quite frankly ADHD slides presentation had a number of discrepancies, unmatched and non referenced data, along with one of the Professors making his talks about his own career whilst providing us with outdated research and a very biased/ignorant view on food. Telling us how according to him food intake doesn't really affect the brain, in ADHD nor controls.
The entire research field would greatly benefit from professional diversity, younger researchers, more women, and certainly more people from different cultures. I keep receiving messages from uni about how 'proud' they are about students diversity.... Then, I look at Professors' faces, all Caucasians, English descent, mostly in their 50s or 60s... And women, younger of course, mostly Caucasian of Polish and English descent, brown/red hair and I feel there's no space for anyone in the field who doesn't look like them, and think like them.
Event these interesting talks in the end have zero diversity in reality. If we're brown and want to contribute to any research field we've got to work 3 x as much just to be 'tolerated'.
IDK, my love for science is stronger than ever, but this crazy reality is revolting, and makes me want to jump off the galaxy... Which is probably what they white headed higher ups dream we'd all do.
Crazy.
Agree in most what You say, I am Swedish and have spent 5 month per year in Brasil and can say My opinion is that ADHD also is a lot cultural and in Brasil My adhd is not judged as Hard as in Sweden.
I would also like to see more diversity in People talking about ADHD.
You write Lots of ‘probab lies’ ie assumptions.
If so interested- why don’t you just try it. Lots of Brazilian research.
Aren’t you just inventing excuses
Such outdated views on adhd.
Can you be more specific please? How so?
Not outdated according to the scientists in the primary scientific literature on ADHD... of which she is one, by the way.
Dislike this pseudoscience needs to go
...you realise this is actual science right?
