Mindfulness Training in Youth With ADHD + Comorbid Learning Disability Maintains Medial Frontal Cortex Function During Response Inhibition
Overview
This study examines the neural effects of a 20-week mindfulness martial arts intervention on youth aged 11-17 with ADHD and comorbid learning disabilities. Using EEG data from a Go/NoGo task, the research compares participants in the intervention group against a waitlist control to assess changes in medial frontal cortex function during response inhibition. The results indicate that the intervention helped maintain NoGo N2 amplitudes over time, whereas the control group experienced attenuation in these neural markers.
