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,...
Background Previous research demonstrated atypical attention in children with attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism spectrum (ASD). Regarding visual orienting, findings suggest a differential impairment: Atypical orienting to relatively unexpected targets ASD, processing of alerting cues ADHD. The locus coeruleus‐norepinephrine (LC‐NE) system plays an important role exploiting increase task performance. present study’s aim was examine subcortical processes underlying ASD...
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...
Facial expression of emotion is fundamental to human social interactions. Attention relevant cues in ADHD and ASD patients are believed underlie difficulties recognizing emotions. Cognitive vergence eye movements during gaze fixation have a role attention. Here we evaluate possible cognitive facial recognition. We recorded from children with (n = 27), 18) or ADHD&ASD 15) neurotypical (NT; n 31) recognition task. Vergence responses stimuli were stronger than those distractor stimuli....
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....
