Abstract
The risk of early drug use asociated with ADHD was evaluated in a community-based sample of 717 (412 low birth weight, 305 normal birth weight) children examined at 6 years of age and at follow-up at age 11 years, at the Department of Psychiatry, Henry Ford Health Sciences Center, Detroit, MI.
Highlights
Electroencephalographic (EEG) activity of 117 unmedicated children (66 aged 4 years, 51 aged 8 years) with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was analyzed at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, Central Institute of Mental Health, Mannheim, Germany
Boys with ADHD had reduced right frontal brain activity, compared to controls. These differences were specific to the frontal regions, and were not observed in central and occipital EEG patterns
Girls with ADHD had increased right-lateralized frontal activation patterns compared to normal control girls; the asymmetry was opposite to that found in boys with ADHD
