Abstract

ObjectiveThe present study investigated the neural correlates of cognitive control in youth with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and comorbid learning disability (N = 75, ages 11-17 years) who participated in a 20-week mindfulness martial arts intervention compared to a waitlist control.MethodEEG was recorded pre and post intervention during a blocked Go/NoGo task. Peak amplitude was measured for the inhibitory NoGo N2 and P3 ERP components.ResultsA significant group by time interaction was found for NoGo N2 amplitudes, indicating that waitlist control participants had significantly attenuated N2 amplitudes over time whereas the intervention group maintained similar levels of medial frontal activity during response inhibition. The maintenance of the individual differences in N2 amplitudes were robust in the intervention group.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that participation in mindfulness martial arts may buffer against reductions in N2 activity during adolescence for youth with ADHD.

正念训练在青少年ADHD +共病学习障碍反应抑制期间维持内侧额叶皮质功能。

目的探讨参加为期20周的正念武术干预的注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）和共病学习障碍青少年（N = 75，年龄11-17岁）认知控制的神经相关因素。方法在阻断Go/NoGo任务期间记录干预前后的deeg。测定NoGo N2和P3 ERP抑制成分的峰幅。结果NoGo的N2波幅存在时间交互作用的显著组，表明等待名单对照组的N2波幅随着时间的推移而显著减弱，而干预组在反应抑制期间保持了相似的内侧额叶活动水平。在干预组中，N2振幅的个体差异维持得很好。这些发现表明，参与正念武术可以缓冲青少年多动症患者青春期N2活动的减少。
