Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder & Conduct Disorder
Attentional Orienting, Motor Preparation, and Response Control
Authors
More about the book
The book delves into the pathophysiology of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD) and its relationship with oppositional defiant/conduct disorder (ODD/CD) through neuropsychological and electrophysiological studies. It reveals that AD/HD involves more than just inhibition deficits, highlighting impairments in attentional orienting, response preparation, and execution. The findings suggest that AD/HD combined with ODD/CD is a distinct condition, characterized by unique motor control issues and a dysregulation of central noradrenergic networks, rather than merely a coexistence of the disorders.
