To better understand current issues with adult ADHD assessment contributing to adult ADHD being under recognized and undertreated. This study examined the relationship between symptoms, impairment, and executive functioning (EF) in a college sample. Among individuals screening negative for ADHD, those higher in EF experienced significantly less impairment than those lower in EF. Executive functioning was shown to have a negative relationship with impairment while ADHD symptomology was shown to have a positive relationship with impairment. In addition, impairment was significantly predicted by ADHD symptom level and EF, and there was a significant interaction between EF and ADHD symptom level in predicting impairment. However, high EF did not significantly protect against impairment in individuals reporting a significant level of ADHD symptoms. Further research is needed to clarify the relationships between these variables in emerging adult college students.

Neurorehabil Neural Repair

January 2025

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Yeouido St. Mary's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Background: Unilateral hemispheric stroke can impair the ipsilesional motor performance, which is crucial for attaining optimal functional outcomes poststroke. However, the specific brain structures contributing to ipsilesional motor performance impairment remain unclear.

Objective: To explore the link between ipsilesional motor performance and the microstructural integrity of relevant neural pathways.

Research Findings: Early science skills predict later science achievement, and persistent achievement gaps in science appear as early as preschool. The current study compared the effectiveness of different instructional approaches for teaching preschoolers about sinking and floating and examined individual differences in learning. Participants were typically developing 4-5-year-olds (=93; 47% female).

Prenatal exposure to a mixture of organophosphate ester and organophosphorus pesticides in relation to child neurodevelopment in the Shanghai Birth Cohort.

Electronic address:

Neurotoxicity of organophosphate esters (OPEs) and organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs) has been documented in toxicological studies, though epidemiological evidence remains inconsistent. The developing fetal brain is susceptible to environmental exposures. Thus, we aim to investigate how prenatal exposure to OPEs and OPPs as mixture affects offspring neurodevelopment in preschool-aged children.

Co-pathology is frequent in Lewy body disease, which includes clinical diagnoses of both Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. Measuring concomitant pathology can improve clinical and research diagnoses and prediction of cognitive trajectories. Tau PET imaging may serve a dual role in Lewy body disease by measuring cortical tau aggregation as well as assessing dopaminergic loss attributed to binding to neuromelanin within substantia nigra.
