Stuttering and the basal ganglia circuits: a critical review of possible relations
TL;DR: It is proposed that the basal ganglia-thalamocortical motor circuits through the putamen are likely to play a key role in stuttered, and the core dysfunction in stuttering is suggested to be impaired ability of the basal Ganglia to produce timing cues for the initiation of the next motor segment in speech.

Neuropsychological functioning in people with ADHD across the lifespan.
TL;DR: The group data clearly supports the hypothesis that executive dysfunctions are correlates of ADHD regardless of gender and age, and these EF deficits are exacerbated by co-morbidity with learning disabilities such as dyslexia.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of fronto-striatal and fronto-cortical brain abnormalities in children and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and new evidence for dysfunction in adults with ADHD during motivation and attention
TL;DR: This paper shows that a group of medication-naïve young adults with ADHD behaviours who were followed up 20 years from a childhood ADHD diagnosis show dysfunctions in lateral fronto-striato-parietal regions relative to controls during sustained attention, as well as in ventromedial orbitofrontal regions during reward, suggesting dysfunction in cognitive-attentional as wellAs motivational neural networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex and age differences in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms and diagnoses: implications for DSM-V and ICD-11.
TL;DR: Gender and age differences in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom endorsement in a large community-based sample suggest that females are under diagnosed in the community.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnostic Controversies in Adult Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
TL;DR: Competing approaches for diagnosis of adult ADHD used in clinical and research practice are described and compared and recommendations are made as a basis for clinical assessment and future research.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: A Handbook for Diagnosis and Treatment
TL;DR: Barkley et al. as discussed by the authors discussed the nature of ADHD, primary symptoms, diagnosis criteria, prevalence, and gender differences, and the treatment of ADHD in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Executive Functions and Developmental Psychopathology
TL;DR: It is revealed that EF deficits are consistently found in both ADHD and autism but not in CD (without ADHD) or in TS, and both the severity and profile of EF deficits appears to differ across ADHD and Autism.

Establishment of Diagnostic Validity in Psychiatric Illness: Its Application to Schizophrenia
Eli Robins,Samuel B. Guze +1 more
TL;DR: It was shown by follow-up and family studies that poor prognosis cases can be validly separated clinically from good prediction cases, and the authors conclude that good prognosis "schizophrenia" is not mild schizophrenia, but a different illness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comorbidity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with conduct, depressive, anxiety, and other disorders.
TL;DR: The literature supports considerable comorbidity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder with conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, learning disabilities, and other disorders, such as mental retardation, Tourette's syndrome, and borderline personality disorder.

Externalizing behavior problems and academic underachievement in childhood and adolescence: causal relationships and underlying mechanisms.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed concepts and measurement issues surrounding externalizing behavior problems and academic underachievement, the strength and specificity of the covariation between these domains, and the viability of explanatory models that link these areas.
