It could help to explain differences in sustained attention.

Researchers report distinct brain activity patterns between adults with ADHD and neurotypical peers during inhibitory control tasks.

New from JNeurosci, Elaine Pinggal, from Monash University, and colleagues assessed how sleep-like brain activity in awake adults influences sustained attention during a task.

Almost two-thirds of children with ADHD experience significant sleep difficulties, such as taking a long time to fall asleep, waking frequently through the night or waking very early. Researchers ...

A new study published in J Neuroscience suggests that adults with ADHD tend to experience sleep-like brain activity even while they are fully awake. Here are why these findings matter and what you ...

For decades, one of the greatest challenges to treating neurological disorders like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder ...

Researchers from the University of Southampton and the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience examined data from an online sleep survey based in the Netherlands to find links between ADHD traits and ...

Sleep difficulties both stem from and magnify symptoms of ADHD. Although primary sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea, may co-exist with ADHD (or, at times, be mistaken for ADHD), many ...
