ADHD symptoms may reflect a brain shifting toward overly synchronized activity, study suggests

psypost.org↗ ADHD symptoms may reflect a brain shifting toward overly synchronized activity, study suggestsThe brain may work best near a tipping point between disorder and excessive synchrony. A new study suggests ADHD symptoms could reflect individual differences in where each person’s brain operates…

A study found stronger long-lasting patterns in brain activity among adults with ADHD than among adults without ADHD. The authors say this is consistent with ADHD symptoms reflecting where a person’s brain operates between order and disorder.

  • The study included 70 adults, 36 neurotypical participants (adults without ADHD) and 34 with an ADHD diagnosis.
  • The ADHD group showed stronger long-range temporal correlations (how brain rhythm strength now relates to strength seconds or minutes later) in alpha rhythms (8 to 13 cycles per second) during a detection task and gamma rhythms (35 to 65 cycles per second) during a response task.
  • Across all participants, stronger gamma correlations went with higher ADHD symptom scores during the response task.
  • The study was correlational (it looked at links between measurements) and included a modest number of adults, so it cannot show that brain patterns cause ADHD symptoms.
