Article Abstract

Background: The present study aimed to find the electroencephalography (EEG) characteristics of adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and to examine if these EEG indices are associated with insomnia in adult ADHD.

Methods: Twenty-six participants were included in the adult ADHD group, and 26 sex-, age-, and education-matched participants formed the control group. Between-group differences in the resting-state EEG indices and the score of insomnia scale were assessed. Correlational analysis between these EEG indices and the score of insomnia scale was conducted.

Results: The adult ADHD group had more insomnia problems and showed increased power over 4 frequency bands at electrodes frontal area, Cz, and Pz, except for alpha band at electrode frontal area. Furthermore, some EEG indices, especially over fast frequency bands, are associated with the score of insomnia scale.

Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that adult ADHD shows a distinct EEG pattern during the resting state. The correlation between the EEG indices over fast frequency bands in adult ADHD and the score of the insomnia scale may explain the high prevalence of insomnia in adult ADHD.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), one of the most common sleep disorders globally, is closely linked to brain function. Resting-state electroencephalography (EEG), due to its convenience, cost-effectiveness, and high temporal resolution, serves as a valuable tool for exploring the human brain function. This study utilized a large cohort with 968 participants who joined in 15-minute daytime resting-state EEG acquisition and overnight polysomnography (PSG) monitoring.

Background: Epilepsy, a significant neurological condition marked by the occurrence of repeated seizures, continues to pose a substantial health challenge. Previous studies have indicated that Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP4) inhibitors may possess antiepileptic properties. Ferroptosis, a newly discovered type of programmed cell death, has recently surfaced as a promising therapeutic target in the management of epilepsy.

Background: Neuroimmune processes are often implicated in young people with atypical neuropsychiatric disorders, yet treatment implications remain controversial. This case series details young people with primary psychiatric disorders who received adjunctive immunotherapy after thorough investigation and extensive conventional treatments.

Methods: We evaluated 45 individuals (93% female, ages 12-30 years) with atypical psychiatric presentations suggesting potential neuroimmune involvement.
