TL;DR: In order to explain the breakdown of the reward cascade due to both multiple genes and environmental stimuli (pleiotropism) and resultant aberrant behaviors, Blum united this hypodopaminergic trait under the rubric of a reward deficiency syndrome.

TL;DR: Quantitative electroencephalographic (QEEG) findings indicated significant maturational effects in cortical arousal in the prefrontal cortex as well as evidence of cortical slowing in both ADHD groups, regardless of age or sex.

TL;DR: Behavioral measures indicated that parenting style exerted a significant moderating effect on the expression of behavioral symptoms at home but not at school, and significant reduction in cortical slowing only in patients who had received EEG biofeedback.

TL;DR: Results indicated that the QEEG scanning procedure was reliable, was consistent with the Attention Deficit Disorders Evaluation Scale and the Test of Variables of Attention, and differentiated participants with ADHD from a nonclinical control group.

TL;DR: This review paper critically examines the empirical evidence, applying the efficacy guidelines jointly established by the Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback (AAPB) and the International Society for Neuronal Regulation (ISNR), and determined EEG biofeedback to be “probably efficacious” for the treatment of ADHD.
