Abstract

There is a rapidly accumulating body of knowledge related to the neurobiology of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) stemming from multidisciplinary neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies. This paper is a review of recent knowledge in the context of neuropsychological theory and research in this area. The final section of the article introduces animal models on the subject. It has been emphasized that the controversy regarding the results of neuropsychological studies is semantic rather than substantive. The semantic issue here is believed to be that the term “attention” has to be related to more than one anatomical network among several brain regions. ADHD, which has many cognitive and behavioral dimensions like attention deficit, hyperactivity and impulsivity, has a heterogeneous nature reflecting the neurobiological basis related to parallel information processing models. Based on clinical and neuropsychological data it has been stated that both the orbitofrontal cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex are functionally disturbed in ADHD. However, whether these functional disturbances are related to the prefrontal cortex or other brain regions associated however primarily with this cortex is yet unclear. Dopamine and epinephrine as neurochemical factors and the frontal lobe and basal ganglia as anatomical factors have been found to be especially responsible. Valid endophenotypic features should be determined in order to specify genetic subtypes of neuropsychiatric syndromes. A review of the literature leads us to the conclusion that tests used to assess attentional components like the executive control network and behavioral inhibition could determine valid endophenotypes.

Özet

Nöropsikolojik araştırmaların ve nörogörüntüleme çalışmalarının ilgili bilim dallarınca ortak bir anlayışla birlikte yürütülmesiyle Dikkat Eksikliği Hiperaktivite Bozukluğu’nun (DEHB) nörobiyolojisine ilişkin bilgiler hızla artmaktadır. Yazıda nöropsikolojik kuram ve araştırmalar bağlamında bu alandaki son bilgiler gözden geçirilmiştir. Son bölümde konuyla ilgili hayvan modelleri tanıtılmıştır. Nöropsikolojik araştırmaların tutarsız gibi görünen sonuçlarının gerçek farklardan çok yorumsal olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Sorun bir tek sözcükle anlam bulan ‘dikkat’in bir çok anatomik ağla ilişkili olmasında yatmaktadır. Dikkat eksikliği, hiperaktivite ve dürtüsellik gibi bilişsel ve davranışsal birçok boyutu olan bu bozukluğun ayrışık doğasının nörobiyolojik temelleri paralel bilgi işleme kuramına uygun sonuçlar göstermektedir. Klinik ve nöropsikolojik verilere dayanarak DEHB’de hem dorsolateral prefrontal korteks hem de orbitofrontal kortekste işlev bozukluğunun olduğu söylenmektedir. Fakat bu işlev bozukluklarının birincil olarak prefrontal kortekse mi yoksa bu alanla ilişkili beyin bölgelerine mi bağlı olduğu henüz kesinlik kazanmamıştır. Nörokimyasal düzeyde dopamin ve norepinefrin, anatomik düzeyde özellikle frontal lob ve bazal ganglionlar üzerinde durulmaktadır. Nöropsikiyatrik sendromların genetik alt tiplerinin ayrıştırılmasında geçerli endofenotipik (fenotipin içindeki alt gruplara ait) özelliklerin belirlenmesi önemlidir. Bu yazıda, dikkat bileşenlerinden yönetici kontrol ağına ve davranışsal ketlemeye yönelik testlerin, geçerli endofenotipleri belirleyebileceği belirtilmektedir
