TLDR
Two subgroups—hyperactive and nonhyperactive—each with characteristics suggesting a different syndrome, are described, giving evidence of brain dysfunction in the groups with scholastic-behavioral problems.Abstract:
Psychometric, neurological, and EEG studies were made of 24 children with scholastic-behavioral problems but no classical evidence of neurological disease and of 24 matched controls. Differences between the two groups were significant in all three measures, giving evidence of brain dysfunction in the groups with scholastic-behavioral problems. Two subgroups—hyperactive and nonhyperactive—each with characteristics suggesting a different syndrome, are described.read more

A review of electrophysiology in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: I. Qualitative and quantitative electroencephalography
TL;DR: A substantial number of EEG correlates of AD/HD hold promise for improving the understanding of the brain dysfunction(s) underlying the disorder and may benefit from a broader conceptual approach, integrating EEG and other measures of brain function.

Toward a Clearer Definition of the Attentional Deficit of Hyperactive Children
TL;DR: It is evident that a good deal of confusion and disagreement remains about the exact nature of the deficit being attributed to hyperactive children.
Journal ArticleDOI
A controlled study of the effects of EEG biofeedback on cognition and behavior of children with attention deficit disorder and learning disabilities.
TL;DR: The experimental condition consisted of 40 45-minute sessions of training in enhancing beta activity and suppressing theta activity, spaced over 6 months as mentioned in this paper, and the experimental group demonstrated a significant increase (mean of 9 points) on the K-Bit IQ Composite as compared to the control group (p<.05).

A meta-analysis of quantitative EEG power associated with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

TL;DR: It is supported that a theta/beta ratio increase is a commonly observed trait in ADHD relative to normal controls, and standardization of the QEEG technique is also needed, specifically with control of mental state, drowsiness, and medication.
Journal ArticleDOI
EEG analysis in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: a comparative study of two subtypes.
TL;DR: The general results support a maturational lag model of the central nervous system in Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and suggest a difference in the severity of the disorder rather than a different neurological dysfunction.

Hyperkinetic impulse disorder in children's behavior problems.
TL;DR: A very common cause of children's behavior disorder disturbance is an entity described as the hyperkinetic impulse disorder, characterized by hyperactivity; short attention span and poor powers of concentration.

Value of equivocal signs in neurologic diagnosis.
TL;DR: The present paper is an attempt to correlate the neurologic findings with those obtained by staff members of the other disciplines in a large number of children with behavioral disorders severe enough to have necessitated admission to a mental hospital.

Behavior disorders of children with cerebral dysrhythmias; successful treatment of subconvulsive dysrhythmia with anticonvulsants.
TL;DR: With the advent of the electroencephalogram (EEG) as a new diagnostic tool, there has been increased interest in the general relationship of organic brain disease and behavior disorders.

Neurologic findings in children educationally designated as "brain-damaged".
TL;DR: The study finds that children labeled “brain-damaged” do in fact have clear evidence of central nervous system abnormality, though of great neurologic heterogeneity, and the usefulness of the label may be to prevent us from attributing undue weight to the etiologic role of social environment or parental care.
