17. Consistent with a pleiotropic role of CACNA1C variants ,
neuro-imaging studies have documented effects of
voltage gated calcium channels on a range of
structural and functional brain phenotypes, including
circuitry involved in:
• emotion processing,
• executive function,
• attention, and
• memory.

19. Childhood predictors of adult ADHD: Results from the
WHO World Mental Health (WMH) Survey Initiative
Lara et al.
An average of 50% of children with ADHD continued to meet
DSM-IV criteria for ADHD as adults.
Persistence was strongly related to:
• attentional plus hyperactive type,
• symptom severity,
• comorbid major depressive disorder,
• high comorbidity,
• paternal anxiety-mood disorder
• parental antisocial personality disorder.
Childhood adversity predicted ADHD, but not persistence into adulthood

49. Mood stabilizers have been used extensively to treat impulsive disorders.
Moderate efficacy in at least half of patients studied have been reported.
Results differ across specific mood stabilizers. Positive data have been published
for Valproate, Phenytoin, Carbamazepine, Topiramate and Lithium.
(not for Gabapentin and Levotireacetam). Some positive results for atypical
neuroleptics (Olanzapine, Aripiprazole, Quetiapine) and antidepressant
(Bupropion) have been reported.
Based on ADHD treatment Stimulants (Modafinil, Methylphenidate,
Amphetamine) Atomoxetine, have lead to positive results in some patients.
Cognitive Behavior Therapies, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Contingency
Management seem to be more promising psychotherapeutic approaches.

54. SCT: Several researchers tried to improve trait self-control.
Successful training generalized to other tasks.
To this end, participants were asked to brush their teeth or use
the computer mouse with the non-dominant hand, keep a good
posture, avoid slang words, perform Stroop tasks, keep a
financial diary, or adhere to study or exercise plans
(Azor Hui et al., 2009; Gailliot, Plant, Butz, & Baumeister, 2007; Muraven, Baumeister, & Tice,
1999; Oaten & Cheng, 2006a, 2006b, 2007).
GNG: One program aimed at fostering response inhibition.
In this study, participants completed an adapted Go/No-Go
task.
