ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder appearing in childhood but remaining in many cases in adults. There are both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches to treating ADHD, but they do not have the same efficacy in all subjects. Better knowledge of the neurophysiological basis of this disorder will allow for the design of more effective treatments.

- ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder mainly diagnosed in children, characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity, but it also affects adults.
- Pharmacological treatments, which include stimulants and non-stimulants, are common for managing ADHD symptoms, though responses can vary widely among individuals due to the disorder's complex nature.
- Research is underway to develop strategies for personalized treatment based on patients' physiological markers, aiming for more effective solutions and overcoming the limitations of current medications.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder in which patients present inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The etiology of this condition is diverse, including environmental factors and the presence of variants of some genes. However, a great diversity exists among patients regarding the presence of these ADHD-associated factors.

This modification relies on synaptic plasticity, a sophisticated mechanism through which neurons change how they process a given stimulus, and the neurophysiological basis of learning. This review addresses the main plastic effects of steroid sex hormones in the central nervous system (CNS) and the effects of sexual experience on the CNS, including effects on neurogenesis, intracellular signaling, gene expression, and changes in dendritic spines, as well as behavioral changes.

Prior research has suggested that HAC and alcohol dependence share some neurophysiological features but differ in others.
Aim: To determine whether HAC and alcohol dependence presented different neurophysiological correlates.
