Attention Deficit Disorders Spectrum Neurological and Neuropsychological Basis

چکیده
Attention deficit disorders are considered a clinical spectrum of an heterogeneous group of disorders with multiple causes, multiple associated findings, and potentially, multiple specific interventions. The hallmark for the diagnosis is inattentive behavior. This presentation contains a review of some of the neurologic and neuropsychologic models available to explain attention and its disorders, as well as the associated or comorbid conditions. Also briefly reviews the clinical evaluation and differential diagnosis of the attention deficit disorders spectrum. Int Pediutr. 1993;8(2):189-198.

In the planned revis...
