Adult attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is associated with migraine headaches
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-03-11)Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is now recognized as a common disorder both in child and adult psychiatry. Adult patients with a diagnosis of ADHD (n = 572) and community controls (n = 675) responded to ... -
Adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder report high symptom levels of troubled sleep, restless legs, and cataplexy
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-09-20)Objective: To compare the occurrence of a spectrum of different self-reported sleep problems in adults with ADHD and a control group, and to study the impact of current ADHD medication use and clinical ADHD subtype. Method: ... -
Adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. A brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-23)Background: Impaired cognitive control in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be related to a prefrontal cortical glutamatergic deficit. We assessed the glutamate level in the left and the ... -
Associations between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autoimmune diseases are modified by sex: a population-based cross-sectional study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05)Several studies have demonstrated associations between neuropsychiatric disorders, such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and the immune system, including autoimmune diseases. Since ADHD and many autoimmune ... -
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in offspring of mothers with inflammatory and immune system diseases
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-03)Background: Prenatal inflammatory mechanisms may play a role in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders and could be relevant for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We investigated maternal chronic somatic ... -
A candidate gene investigation of methylphenidate response in adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder patients: results from a naturalistic study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08)Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common childhood onset neuropsychiatric disorder with a complex and heterogeneous symptomatology. Persistence of ADHD symptoms into adulthood is common. Methylphenidate ... -
EEG Analysis in Adults with Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder. Resting state and behavioural data analysis
(Master thesis, 2015-05-31)Introduction: Adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are examined by electroencephalography (EEG). EEG is a non-invasive method to measure brain activity indirectly, by measuring voltage changes on the ... -
Epistatic and gene wide effects in YWHA and aromatic amino hydroxylase genes across ADHD and other common neuropsychiatric disorders: Association with YWHAE
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09)Monoamines critically modulate neurophysiological functions affected in several neuropsychiatric disorders. We therefore examined genes encoding key enzymes of catecholamine and serotonin biosynthesis (tyrosine and tryptophan ... -
Event-related-potential (ERP) correlates of performance monitoring in adults with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04-11)Introduction: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most frequent neurodevelopmental disorders in children and tends to persist into adulthood. Evidence from neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and ... -
Expanding the toolbox of ADHD genetics. How can we make sense of parent of origin effects in ADHD and related behavioral phenotypes?
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-16)Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have shown that many different genetic variants cumulatively contribute to the risk of psychiatric disorders. It has also been demonstrated that various parent-of-origin effects (POE) ... -
Linear and non-linear analyses of Conner’s Continuous Performance Test-II discriminate adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder from patients with mood and anxiety disorders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-11)Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a heterogeneous disorder. Therefore it is important to look for factors that can contribute to better diagnosis and classification of these patients. The aims ... -
Paraneoplastic syndrome-associated neuronal antibodies in adult ADHD
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-09-01)A high seroprevalence of Yo antibodies targeting cerebellar Purkinje cells was recently reported in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We investigated the presence of 8 paraneoplastic neurological ... -
Patterns of motor activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats compared to Wistar Kyoto rats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12-01)Background: Increased motor activity is a defining characteristic of patients with ADHD, and spontaneously hypertensive rats have been suggested to be an animal model of this disorder. In the present study, we wanted to ... -
Stimulant treatment profiles predicting co-occurring substance use disorders in individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-02-05)Adolescents with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are at increased risk of developing substance use disorders (SUDs) and nicotine dependence (ND). It remains unclear whether and how stimulant treatment may ... -
Tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases as therapeutic targets in human disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Introduction: The ancient and ubiquitous monoamine signalling molecules serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine are involved in multiple physiological functions. The aromatic amino acid hydroxylases tyrosine ... -
Tyrosinemia Type 1 and symptoms of ADHD: Biochemical mechanisms and implications for treatment and prognosis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Hereditary tyrosinemia Type 1 (HT‐1) is a rare metabolic disease where the enzyme catalyzing the final step of tyrosine breakdown is defect, leading to accumulation of toxic metabolites. Nitisinone inhibits the degradation ... -
Work participation in ADHD and associations with social characteristics, education, lifetime depression, and ADHD symptom severity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-06)The literature refers to high rates of occupational failure in the population of adults with ADHD. The explanation for this is less known. The aim of the present study was to examine associations between social characteristics ...
