Neurotherapies for ADHD

- 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
What form of meditation was employed?
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.
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.
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.
@One Two "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?
@O T I believe you're wrong regarding iq. IQ and conscientiousness together are the best indicators of lifetime success. The rest of your comment I certainly holds some truth.
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?
