Topic: attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

Previous evidence found adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is usually accompanied with inhibitory control deficits. The underlying mechanism might partially due to brain physiology. Therefore, the pilot study aims to explore the relationship between cortical excitability and inhibitory control performance in adolescents with ADHD. The study recruited 7 adolescents with ADHD aged 13-17 years old. All participants were assessed by inhibitory control (stop signal task) and cortical excitability via transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). For cortical excitability, M
