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 ... -
Developing creative methods for children's voice research: Potential and pitfalls when constructing verbal and visual methods for research with children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(SAGE, 2017)‘How does an elephant tell a mouse what it is like to be an elephant?’ replied one young man, when we asked, ‘What is it like to live with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder?’ His observations demonstrate how ... -
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 ... -
Dissociation in performance of children with ADHD and autism on a task of sustained attention
(2007)Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism are two neurodevelopmental disorders associated with prominent executive dysfunction, which may be underpinned by disruption within fronto-striatal and fronto-parietal ... -
Dissociation in response to methylphenidate on response variability in a group of medication naïve children with ADHD
(2008)Increased variability in reaction time (RT) has been proposed as a cardinal feature of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Increased variability during sustained attention tasks may reflect inefficient ... -
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 ... -
Methylphenidate improves some but not all measures of ATTENTION, as measured by the TEA-Ch in medication-naïve children with ADHD
(2013)The Test of Everyday Attention for Children (TEA-Ch) is a reliable neuropsychological assessment of attention control in children. Methylphenidate (MPH) is an effective treatment to improve attentional difficulties in ... -
The neural correlates of deficient error awareness in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
(2009)The ability to detect and correct errors is critical to adaptive control of behaviour and represents a discrete neuropsychological function. A number of studies have highlighted that attention-deficit/hyperactivity ... -
The powerless or the empowered? Stakeholders' experiences of diagnosis and treatment for attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in Ireland
(2018)Introduction: In Ireland, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed condition in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS). However, little is known about the experiences of ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Spatial attentional bias as a marker of genetic risk, symptom severity and stimulant response in ADHD.
(2007)Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a heritable childhood onset disorder that is marked by variability at multiple levels including clinical presentation, cognitive profile, and response to stimulant ... -
Synaptosomal-Associated Protein 25 (SNAP-25) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD): Evidence of linkage and Association in the Irish Population.
(2002)Several lines of evidence have suggested that ADHD is a polygenic disorder produced by the interaction of several genes each of a minor effect. Synaptosomal-associated protein 25 (SNAP-25) is a presynaptic plasma membrane ...
