ADHD patients show poor oculomotor control and recent studies show that attention-related eye vergence is weak in ADHD children. We aimed to assess vergence as a potential diagnostic biomarker for ADHD in adults. We assessed the modulation in the angle of vergence while performing an attention task ( = 144), comparing the results for adults previously diagnosed with ADHD ( = 108) with age-matched clinical controls ( = 36).

Method: To validate vergence as a marker to classify ADHD, we assessed the modulation in the angle of vergence of children ( n = 43) previously diagnosed with ADHD while performing an attention task and compared the results with age-matched clinical controls ( n = 19) and healthy peers ( n = 30).
Article Synopsis
- * Findings show that astrocytic IL-6 has significant prosurvival benefits in young mice and influences various behaviors including activity, anxiety, and spatial learning, while also hinting at potential inhibitory effects on learning consolidation.
- * The research highlights that the influence of astrocytic IL-6 varies based on age and sex, suggesting that both astrocytes and other brain cells contribute to behavioral regulation without significantly affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
