This paper explores one potential explanation of this discrepancy: the possibility that the benefit from enhancement stimulants is at least in part motivational, rather than purel...

UNLABELLED Recent work has demonstrated that human whole-brain functional connectivity patterns measured with fMRI contain information about cognitive abilities, including sustained attention. To derive behavioral predictions from connectivity patterns, our group developed a connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) approach (Finn et al., 2015; Rosenberg et al., 2016). Previously using CPM, we...

Objectives: Some studies reported a significant improvement in sleep parameters by melatonin therapy in children with ADHD. Utilizing risperidone along with stimulants is another pharmacologic approach for ADHD treatment. In this study we investigated the effect of melatonin and risperidone on sleep disorders in children with ADHD and compared their effectiveness as well. Methods & Methods: 29 ...

Twenty children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) were treated with either Ritalin (10 children) or dietary supplements (10 children), and outcomes were compared using the Intermediate Visual and Auditory/Continuous Performance Test (IVA/CPT) and the WINKS two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures and with Tukey multiple comparisons. Subjects in both groups showed ...
