Cortical Arousal and Pediatric Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Journal Title: Acta Psychopathologica - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 4

Abstract

While the continued manifestation of Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) symptoms and cognitive impairments are documented well, the underlying physiological processes remain unknown. This review documents research linking arousal to ADHD-related cognitive impairments. Etiological models that attempt to associate arousal to ADHD-related cognitive impairments and behavioral manifestations of the disorder are reviewed. Finally, recommendations for future research will be explored with a particular emphasis on both research and clinical implications.
