Neurological aspects
In this section, ADHD is considered from a neurological perspective.
In ADHD, different cortical and subcortical brain regions are involved.1
- Neurotransmitters in ADHD
- Hormones in ADHD
-
Neurophysiological correlates of ADHD symptoms
- Neurophysiological correlates of working memory problems in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of attention problems in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of hyperactivity in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of inhibition problems and impulsivity in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of drive and motivation problems in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of delay aversion, pleasure inability, and recovery inability in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of thinking blocks and decision problems
- Neurophysiological correlates of aggression in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of arousal and activation
- Neurophysiological correlates of learning problems in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of emotional dysregulation
- Neurophysiological correlates of sleep problems in ADHD
- Neurophysiological correlates of stress
- Gender differences in ADHD
- High Sensitivity - Contributory Cause and Consequence of Early Childhood Stress Injury
- Research topic: ADHD in animal models
For the understanding of neurological correlations, some sections of the article ⇒ may further be ADHD - different explanatory models in the past and today May be helpful. The following headings link directly to the respective sections:
- 4. Cause-oriented descriptions
-
5. More complex neurological models
- 5.1. cognitive-energetic model according to Sergeant (2000)
- 5.5. 2 or 3 - causes model according to Sonuga-Barke (Dual-Pathway / Triple-Pathway)
- 5.2. 3-Endophenotypes according to Castellanos and Tannock
- 5.3. 4-category model according to Hunt
- 5.4. reduced inhibition / overactivity of the default mode network (DMN)
- 5.5. Rolandic wave spikes and epileptoform EEG abnormalities
