The present study investigated the neuropathology of everyday-life executive function (EF) deficits in adults with ADHD with high IQ.
Forty adults with ADHD with an IQ ≥ 120 and 40 controls were recruited. Ecological EFs were measured, and eyes-closed Electroencephalograph (EEG) signals were recorded during a resting-state condition; EEG power and correlations with impaired EFs were analyzed.
Compared with controls, the ADHD group showed higher scores on all clusters of EF. The ADHD group showed globally increased theta, globally decreased alpha, and increased central beta activity. In the ADHD group, central beta power was significantly related to emotional control ratings, while no such correlation was evident in the control group.
The results suggest that resting-state beta activity might be involved in the neuropathology of emotional control in adults with ADHD with high IQ.
本研究旨在探讨高智商 ADHD 成人日常生活执行功能(EF)缺陷的神经病理学。
招募了 40 名智商≥120 的 ADHD 成人和 40 名对照者。测量了生态执行功能,并在静息状态下记录了闭眼脑电图(EEG)信号;分析了 EEG 功率与受损 EF 的相关性。
与对照组相比,ADHD 组在 EF 的所有聚类上得分更高。ADHD 组表现出全局增加的θ波、全局减少的α波和增加的中央β波活动。在 ADHD 组中,中央β波功率与情绪控制评分显著相关,而对照组中则没有这种相关性。
研究结果表明,静息状态下的β活动可能与高智商 ADHD 成人的情绪控制的神经病理学有关。
