Course Description
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects attention, impulse control, and executive functioning. In this ISCN lecture, Professor Frederick Robert Carrick explores strategies aimed at improving functional outcomes in individuals with ADHD. The session examines the neural circuits involved in attention, behavioral regulation, and cognitive control, highlighting how developmental differences in brain connectivity can influence symptoms of ADHD. Participants will learn how executive function, working memory, and emotional regulation are influenced by brain network activity. The lecture also discusses approaches designed to strengthen cognitive performance and support adaptive brain function through structured interventions and behavioral strategies. By understanding the neuroscience underlying attention and executive function, clinicians and researchers can better support individuals in improving focus, learning, and overall daily performance.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand neurological mechanisms underlying ADHD.
- Explore brain networks involved in attention and executive function.
- Examine cognitive and behavioral challenges associated with ADHD.
- Learn strategies aimed at improving attention and performance.
- Review research focused on enhancing functional outcomes.
