Summary

Story summary

Researchers from Hebrew University and UC San Diego report that children with ADHD show a unique aperiodic EEG activity pattern.
The pattern improved after a combined intervention of non-invasive brain stimulation and cognitive training.
This neural marker could enhance ADHD assessment and treatment.
A separate study finds adults with ADHD who recognize and use their strengths report better well-being and fewer mental health issues.
