Hyperactivity and sensation seeking as autoregulatory attempts to stabilize brain arousal in ADHD and mania?

Feb 23, 2020

Hypoarousal as indicated by skin conductance and electroencephalography (EEG) has been discussed as a pathogenetic factor in attention-deficit/hyperactivity dis- order (ADHD). The aim of this paper was to review these arousal-related pathogenetic concepts and to present the more recently proposed vigilance regulation model of affective disorders and ADHD.
