EEG Characteristics in Children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Yogesh Yadav, Kavita Yadav

Abstract: Power spectral analysis of the electrophysiological output at a Single, Medline Prefrontal location the vertex C2 was conducted in 30 children ages 3-11 year old to test the hypothesis that cortical slowing in the prefrontal region can serve as basis for differentiating children with ADHD from healthy children. Quantitative electroencephalographic findings indicated significant increased. Theta power and decreased delta power seen in patient with ADHD which suggested significant maturational effect in Cortical arousal in the prefrontal cortex as well as evidence of of cortical showing in ADHD group. These finding constituted a positive initial test of a QEEG- based neurometric test for use in the assessment of ADHD.
