Assessment of Brain Activity Associated With Inhibition of Action in Attention-deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Inhibitory control allows individuals to suppress unwanted actions and to resist irrelevant stimuli. It is thought to be a core deficit in Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The present study aims at evaluating this deficit in adults with ADHD. Executive and inhibitory capacities, as well as the neural mechanisms underlying inhibitory control, will be assessed in adults with ADHD and two control groups of participants.
• Age between 18 and 50,
‣ Visual, auditory (authorized apparatus), motor skills suitable for the proper realization of neuropsychological tests,
⁃ Being right-handed,
⁃ Free, informed and written consent signed by the participant and the investigator
⁃ Person affiliated or beneficiary of a social security scheme.
• For the ADHD group:
‣ Diagnosis of ADHD according to DSM-V criteria (APA, 2013),
∙ For the patient control group:
∙ • Patient who consulted for a cognitive complaint and for whom the diagnosis of ADHD was rejected according to the criteria of DSM-V (APA, 2013).
