Association between dopamine transporter (DAT1)genotype, left sided inattention, and an enhanced response to methylphenidate in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(2005)A polymorphism of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1, 10-repeat) is associated with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and has been linked to an enhanced response to methylphenidate (MPH). One aspect of the ... -
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and 5-HT2C receptor: A slight increase in the transmission of Cys23 to ADHD cases
(1999)Recent evidence suggests that interaction with and balancebetween serotonergicand dopaminergic neurotransmissionis important in the mediation of hyperactive behaviour.Animal model studies have ®rmly implicated the genes ... -
Autistic Tendencies: The Consequences for Our Culture
(2006)Professor Michael Fitzgeraldtalks withJoe Griffinabout the powerful impact, both positive and negative, of autistic thinking in diverse walks of life. -
Developmental comorbidity assessment in childhood ADHD
(2003)Introduction: Childhood ADHD typically presents with comorbidites. Assessment tools for developmental screening vary greatly in length and complexitity, and parental preference has an impact on the usefulness of clinical ... -
Dopa decarboxylase gene polymorphisms and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD): no evidence for association in the Irish population
(2001)Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) is an enzyme which catalyses the decarboxylation of both dopa to dopamine and L-5 hydroxytryptophan to serotonin. Both catecholamines are major neurotransmitters of the mammalian nervous system. ... -
Executive Function in Routine Childhood ADHD Assessment
(2010)Aims: To determine the metacognitive deficits and behavioural and emotional regulation deficits among a group of children undergoing treatment for ADHD and to compare these with the hyperactivity/inattentive and behavioural ... -

In God we trust? Organised religion and personal beliefs as resources and coping strategies, and their implications for health in parents with a child on the autistic spectrum
(1999)This paper is part of a larger study looking at the impact on 60 families of having a child with autistic spectrum disorder. Here the roles played by organised reliagion and personal belief and their relationship with ... -
Inversion effects in the perception of the moving human form - A comparison of adolescents with autism spectrum disorder and typically developing adolescents
(2013)The “body inversion effect” refers to superior recognition of upright than inverted images of the human body and indicates typical configural processing. Previous research by Reed et al. using static images of the human ... -
Neuro-developmental Disorders with Co-Morbid Affective Disorders Sometimes Produce Psychiatric Conditions Traditionally Diagnosed as Schizophrenia

Preferential Transmission of Paternal Alleles at Risk Genes in Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
(2005)Family, twin, and adoption studies have demonstrated a significant genetic contribution to the etiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Pharmacological, neuroimaging, and animal-model findings suggest ... -
Screening for autistic spectrum disorder at the 18-month developmental assessment: a population-based study
(2007)The objectives of this study were to assess the feasibility of administering the CHecklist for Autism in Toddlers (CHAT) at the 18-month developmental check, estimate the prevalence of screening positive for autism at the ... -
Serotonergic System and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): a potential susceptibility locus at the 5-HT1B receptor gene in 270 Trios from a multi-center sample
(2002)Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly heritable and heterogeneous disorder, which usually becomes apparent during the first few years of childhood. Imbalance in dopamine neurotransmission has been ...
