Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying ADHD
Frontal (and all subdivision!)
Striatal (emphasis on caudate)
Cerebellar (most distinctive)
Underactivated caudate and MPH response of caudate most consistent findings

Shapes of caudate and anteroventral putamen are
compressed such that volume is diminished in 8-
12 year old boys with ADHD.

fMRI shows normal sensitivity to rewards in children with ADHD, although conduct disorder (not
ADHD) is associated with diminished activation of the reward circuitry of
the orbitofrontal cortex.

Between 12 and 16 years, children with ADHD Rx with stimulants show cortical thickness (for age) closer to typically developing peers than did
those not treated.

This is the title of the publication by Shaw P, Eckstrand K, Sharp W, Blumenthal J, Lerch JP, Greenstein D, Clasen L, Evans A, Giedd J, Rapoport JL, 2007 PNAS, 104:19649-19654
Cortical growth-to-max trajectories measured on aMRIs
“Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is characterized by a delay
in cortical maturation.”

Multifactorial Cognitive Etiology Model of ADHD
“Impulsive cognitive style is attributive to an additive or interactive dysfunciton in multiple (but probably related) cognitive systems and their closely related mediating neural networks” (Sergeant et al., 2003; Willcutt et al., 2005)

Compensatory Neural Activity Revealed by fMRI with ADHD
Caudate activation deficiency implies deficient coding of event probability
Anomalous activity of right posterior superior temporoparietal region (possible awareness of motor action is compensatory?)
MPH modulation limited to regional and task specificity, not a “cure-all.”
![Page 8: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Non-Pharmacological Rx for ADHD: More Research-based Rationale I
Cognitive control status is not correlated with symptom severity of ADHD but…
ADHD symptom severity is *MPH-responsive
Closely related cognitive control tasks are differently impaired with ADHD
*MPH=methylphenidate
![Page 9: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Non-Pharmacological Rx for ADHD: More Research-based Rationale II
Two closely related cognitive control tasks:
1. Interference suppression: NOT MPH-responsive
2. Response inhibition: YES, MPH-responsive
Rapid naming (fluency measure) is improved but NOT normalized by MPH
![Page 10: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EF Popularized As Neuropsychology of ADHD
Executive Function (EF) is domain of direct interest, implicates “Frontal” circuits
Barkley’s book explains that all EFs flow (linearly, developmentally) from the primary one, INHIBITION
Others view INHIBITION and RESPONSE PREPARATION as “two sides of the same coin”
Add “Sustain,” “Initiate” and “Shift”
![Page 11: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Emphasis Shift: Not Just Inhibition is Deficient with ADHD
Speed of Motor Output
Timing of Motor Output
VARIABILITY of Motor Output
These now “Motor Endophenotype”
![Page 12: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Current Concerns About What Sufficiently Characterizes ADHD
Does the “traditional triad” cover the syndrome?
Is “hyperactivity” too superficial or redundant?
Isn’t “inattention” misleading” (better choice “attention mis-allocation”)
![Page 13: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Is EDF “diagnostic” of ADHD?
No! Most with ADHD show EDF but reverse is not true!
EDF is NOT a diagnosis but a “processing problem” (educators’ terminology)
EF has “server loops” from other “posteriorly based” systems (also described as “ingredients”)
![Page 14: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What Is Seen Clinically As EDF?
Observations of “I-S-I-S”
Excess-for-age extraneous overflow
Poor visual-motor organization
Lack of strategies or plans of search
![Page 15: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
How Assess EF/EDF?
Indirectly in younger children using “neighborhood signs” of motor control/inhibition
Directly, if at least 8 years old, Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System
Still need vigilance for “ingredients”
![Page 16: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Definitions – “Plain”
Inhibition (“No-go” side of “Go/No-go”)
Response Preparation (called “Intention” by neurologists)
Delayed Responding (made possible by Inhibition)
Working Memory
![Page 17: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Working Memory Analyses
What fills the delay in the delayed response situation made possible by inhibition of responding
Working memory in the Central Executive sense must be served by (and mediated through) either a “phonological” (i.e., verbal) loop or a “visuospatial” (i.e., mind’s eye) loop
![Page 18: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
More Crucial Components of EF
Sustain and Shift (1/2 of “ISIS”)
Plan (time-manage, sequence actions)
Organize (arrange environment, materials, pieces of complex products)
“Meta” applies to monitor, check, have insight, solve novel problems
![Page 19: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

TREATMENT IMPLICATIONS
Stimulants are neither cure nor curse (not so good, not so bad as is said).
More formulations now exist, use of which involves “the art of medicine.”
Individualize medication for “target symptoms, target times.”
MTA conclusions are: stimulants outperform non-drug interventions but combination is best and permits lower drug doses.
Most medication management doesn’t match MTA!

TREATMENT DESCRIPTIONS (OTHER THAN STIMULANTS)
“ABC” of applied behavior analysis (synonyms: behavior modification, contingency management).
Valence of contingency should be POSITIVE.
“A” of ABC stands for “ANTECEDENTS.”
![Page 24: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
MORE ON TREATMENT OF ADHD (NONPHARMACOLOGIC)
Antecedents need to be manipulated so that home and school “engineer for success.”
Tutoring, coaching, motor skills building are examples of Antecedent manipulations (and are cognitive).
Cognitive, in the psychiatric sense, is not therapeutically effective (e.g., “I must not run”).

EF Deficit Learning Disability
Academic Difficulty
![Page 26: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Reading Comprehension and ADHD
Brock & Knapp (1996)
4th, 5th, and 6th graders with and without ADHD
All subjects had normal decoding skills
Both groups had similar word attack, reading speed, and vocabulary skills.
BUT…
The ADHD group had reading comprehension deficits.
![Page 27: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reading Comprehension and ADHD
Tannock and colleagues
Children with ADHD (without decoding or language problems) have difficulty organizing, sequencing, and self-monitoring retelling of stories they have read
Also have difficulty with making inferences from what they have read
BUT…can answer factual questions well
![Page 28: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What to Do?
Interventions for Reading Comprehension
FIRST…Evaluate Make sure common lower level skill deficits are
not the cause (i.e., decoding) Examine oral language skills (syntax,
semantics) Examine EF:
Inferential Language Self-monitoring Organizing material Use of strategies
![Page 29: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What to Do? Interventions for Reading Comprehension
Teaching of strategies, e.g. Comprehension monitoring (“metacognitive
awareness”) Graphic organizers Question generation (who, what, why, where) Knowledge of story structure Summarizing Mental imagery Reciprocal teaching (summarize, question,
clarification, prediction) Teacher first models, then gradually takes away
support/modeling
![Page 30: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Written Expression
Heterogeneous; intersection of many skills: Handwriting Spelling Punctuation Expressive Language (Vocabulary, Grammar) Working Memory, Self-Monitoring,
Organization, and Planning (Executive Function)
![Page 31: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Why is Writing Often Challenging for Children with ADHD?
Motoric requirements (handwriting) Children with ADHD typically have graphomotor
issues
Graphomotor/motor substantial predictor of overall written productivity (Berninger et al., 1992)
Requirements for working memory, self-monitoring, planning and organization Areas of impairment in ADHD
![Page 32: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What to Do?
FIRST, evaluate…exactly which issues is the child having difficulty with? Handwriting
Spelling
Punctuation
Expressive Language
Organization/Planning
![Page 33: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
What to Do?
Organize and plan—initially be stand-in frontal lobe!
Use graphic organizers
Teach use of different graphic organizers for different types of writing
• Compare/contrast, narrative, description, etc.
Gradual decrease of support
• Knowing DOES NOT equal doing
![Page 34: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
What to Do?
Separate out handwriting and writing
Dictate
Learn keyboarding
Gradually merge processes so child can organize and write on own.
![Page 35: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Roles of ADHD or “false” ADHD (often Anxiety)
Executive Function (usually but not always impaired with ADHD) is powerful factor in LD of clinical importance
Anxiety impairs Executive Function (EF) also Life is not simple, so BOTH ADHD and Anxiety
may undermine EF Children with weak EF may “grow into” LDs
(written expression and reading comprehension)
![Page 36: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Treatment of LD Substantially Determined by ADHD/EdF
Stimulant meds: neither curse nor cure but reliable only for inhibitory component of EdF (where “d” is for “dys”____)
Home and School environment changes are more important but less accessible!
“A” in ABC of applied behavior analysis needs greater emphasis: proactive antecedents
![Page 37: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
One Important “anti-A,” the “Inclusion Delusion”
How can in-class special help work when most LD is based upon weak speech-
sound processing and/or weak attentional control?
![Page 38: Neurology—Revealed by aMRI and fMRI—Underlying · PDF fileinsight, solve novel problems . ... Question generation (who, what, why, where) ... How can in-class special help work](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022501/5aa8b9137f8b9a90188be3c6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Therapeutic Needs (Nothing New)
“A” in “ABC” means most importantly cheerful, positive, encouraging adults!
Special teaching is best done one-on-one (but negative irritable teacher won’t do!)
Special teaching means flexible, individually “customized” plans, not pre-packaged or scripted “one size fits all.”
