“…The analysis of neuropsychological parameters revealed less effective executive function in all of the ADHD children compared with typically developing children. These results are consistent with other notions of cognitive deficits in ADHD (Barkley, 2006; Wahlstedt, 2009; Willcutt et al, 2005, Zavadenko & Petroukhin, 2007). The comparison of the results of the neuropsychological and electrophysiological assessments in the present study demonstrated the degree of involvement of neurophysiological factors in executive deficits in ADHD.…”

“…Most children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and impulsiveness face learning difficulties (Zavadenko & Petroukhin, 2007; Loe & Feldman, 2007). Approximately 70-80% of ADHD children have poor academic performance (Barkley, 2006; Daley & Birchwood, 2010; Corkum, McGonnell, & Schachar, 2010).…”

“…Together with executive dysfunction, ADHD subjects exhibit modality-dependent cognitive deficits such as language and visuospatial impairments. ADHD children exhibit low verbal (Pineda, Restrepo, Henao, Gutierrez-Clellen, & Sanchez, 1999) and nonverbal (Nijokiktjien & Verschoor, 1998) Intelligence Quotient scores, low verbal memory performance, poor inner speech, difficulty in concept formation (Zavadenko & Petroukhin, 2007), poor visuospatial skills (Quintanar, Solovieva, & Bonilla, 2006), and poor categorical reasoning in both visual and verbal tasks (Machinskaya & Semenova, 2004). Such a wide range of cognitive deficits is thought to be caused by the heterogeneity of ADHD, which was observed and verified by many studies.…”

We neuropsychologically assessed cognitive deficits in 109 children with symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and 51 children with typical development aged 7-8 years and 9-10 years and visually analyzed resting-state electroencephalography (EEG). The EEG recordings of children with ADHD more frequently contained EEG patterns of frontothalamic non-optimal functioning compared with controls, reflected by groups of bilaterally synchronous frontal theta waves (FTWs) and right hemisphere local deviations of brain electrical activity. We found cognitive impairments associated with ADHD in children with different deviations of resting-state EEG. Children with FTWs in both age groups exhibited pronounced difficulties in programming, regulation and control (executive functions), and verbal performance. Children with right hemisphere local EEG abnormalities had executive dysfunction combined with difficulties in nonverbal performance. Executive performance in typically developing children significantly improved from 7-8 to 9-10 years of age. An analysis of neuropsychological scores in children with ADHD symptoms from age 7-8 to 9-10 with the same EEG abnormalities indicated specific age-related improvement of cognitive abilities. In children whose EEG showed patterns of fronto-thalamic involvement presented significant improvement in executive and verbal performance from 7-8 to 9-10 years of age. Overcoming the same age gap in children with right hemisphere local EEG deviations significantly improved only nonverbal performance, whereas improvements in executive function were not statistically significant.

“…The most common headache phenotypes in PTH are tension-type-like headache and migraine-like headache. In our cohort of patients suffered closed TBI of moderate and severe degrees persistent PTH were observed in 268 of 283 patients (95% of cases) recurring from one episode in a week to daily attacks [18,19]. Headaches usually affected the lifestyle of the children, resulted significantly on their mood, behavior, intellectual and physical endurance, school learning.…”

“…In our studies of the long-term sequelae of TBI the neurological and neuropsychological assessment of 283 patients aged from 5 to 14 years (201 boys and 82 girls) suffered moderate or severe closed TBI (contusion or diffuse axonal injury) was performed in the period from 6 months to 4 years after TBI [18,19]. The diagnosis was confirmed during hospitalization in the acute period of head injury.…”

The consequences of the traumatic brain injury (TBI) in children and adolescents represent a major medical and social problem, as TBI interferes in the normal processes of neuroontogenesis. Brain damage in TBI in children and adolescents occurs during the ongoing processes of its growth and maturation, and therefore the clinical course and outcomes may differ significantly from those in adults. Poor outcomes of TBI sustained in early childhood may be explained considerably by the timing of injury in a period of rapid brain and behavioral development. Thus, TBI has a negative impact on the cognitive function development, behavior, school education, and social skills acquisition. Cognitive and behavioral disorders in children and adolescents in the long-term period of TBI become more prominent in co-occurrence with paroxysmal disorders, including posttraumatic headaches, posttraumatic epilepsy, and subclinical epileptiform activity on the EEG. In general, a favorable outcome is possible in children more often than adults even after severe TBI, due to the high neuroplasticity of the developing brain. Therapeutic and rehabilitation measures in the long-term period of TBI in children and adolescents should be intensively carried out both in the first 12 months after TBI, when the most significant results from their use are expected, and in the long-term period, considering the ongoing processes of morpho-functional maturation and neuroplasticity mechanisms.
