In 15 children suffering from food induced attention deficit hyperkinetic syndrome, topographic EEG mapping of brain electrical activity was carried out following avoidance and ingestion of previously identified provoking foods. A crossover design was used and recordings were interpreted independently by two investigators, one of whom was blind to the order of testing. During consumption of provoking foods there was a significant increase in betal activity in the frontotemporal areas of the brain. This investigation is the first one to show an association between brain electrical activity and intake of provoking foods in children with food-induced attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
These data support the hypothesis that in a subgroup of children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder certain foods may not only influence clinical symptoms but may also alter brain electrical activity.
对15名患有食物诱发的注意力缺陷多动综合征的儿童，在避免摄入和摄入先前确定的诱发食物后，进行了脑电活动的脑地形图绘制。采用交叉设计，记录由两名研究人员独立解读，其中一名对测试顺序不知情。在食用诱发食物期间，大脑额颞叶区域的β活动显著增加。这项研究首次表明食物诱发的注意力缺陷多动障碍儿童的脑电活动与诱发食物的摄入之间存在关联。
这些数据支持这样的假设，即在注意力缺陷多动障碍儿童的一个亚组中，某些食物不仅可能影响临床症状，还可能改变脑电活动。
