Importance Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has the potential to be a sustainable treatment option in pediatric attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but rigorously controlled multicenter clinical trials using state-of-the-art techniques are lacking. Objectives To determine effect sizes of changes cognitive and measures assess safety tolerability course optimized multichannel tDCS over prefrontal target regions ADHD. Design, Setting, Participants In sham-controlled,...
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive neuromodulation technique gaining more attention in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Due to the phenotypic heterogeneity of NDDs, tDCS unlikely be equally effective all individuals. The present study aimed establish neuroanatomical markers typically developing (TD) individuals that may used for prediction individual responses tDCS. Fifty-seven male and female children received 2 mA anodal sham tDCS, targeting left...
Abstract Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by impaired social communication and interaction, stereotyped, repetitive behaviour sensory interests. To date, there no effective medication that can improve interaction in ASD, effect sizes of behaviour-based psychotherapy remain the low to medium range. Consequently, a clear need for new treatment options. ASD associated with altered activation connectivity patterns brain areas which process information. Transcranial...
Abnormalities in neurophysiological correlates of social perception are a well‐known feature autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, little is known if and how ASD specific behavioral interventions may affect neural processing ASD. The aim the current study was to investigate for first time, whether group‐based skills training SOSTA‐FRA would elicit changes high‐functioning individuals aged 8–17 years. Event‐related potentials (ERPs) facial emotion recognition (FER) biological motion task...
Abstract Perceptual expectations influence perception, attention and the perceptual decision bias during visuospatial orienting, which is impaired in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this study, we investigated whether ASD differentially relative to neurotypical controls (NT). Twenty-three children adolescents 23 NT completed a orienting task, compared effect of valid an invalid expectation on target detection (cue validity effect). Group differences were calculated...
The ability to infer intentions from observed behavior and predict actions based on this inference, known as intention attribution (IA), has been hypothesized be impaired in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). underlying neural processes, however, have not conclusively determined. aim of study was examine the signature IA children adolescents ASD, elucidate potential links contextual updating processes using electroencephalography. Results did indicate that or early ASD....
