Fatty acids rehabilitated long-term neurodegenerative-like symptoms in olfactory bulbectomized rats

A deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is among the most frequent neurodevelopmental disorders. Atomoxetine (ATX) and methylphenidate (MPH) have been recommended as primary medication choices to treat inhibitionand attention-related dysfunctions in ADHD children. This study used functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to explore the efficacy of both medications in school-aged children with ADHD for inhibitory and attention task performance. fNIRS is a promising tool, offering robust advantages such as its compactness, affordable price, tolerance to body motion and accessibility. We monitored the oxy-hemoglobin changes in ADHD children (6 to 14 years old) during go/nogo or oddball tasks before and 1.5 h after ATX, MPH or placebo administration, in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled experiment. Age-, genderand IQ-matched healthy controls, who did not receive medications or a placebo, were also monitored. In the control subjects, the go/nogo task modulated the right inferior and middle prefrontal gyri (IFG/MFG) and the oddball task modulated the right IFG/MFG and inferior parietal cortex (IPL). In ADHD children, these activations were absent in pre-medicated conditions. The reduction in the right IFG/MFG activation was normalized by both ATX and MPH for go/nogo and oddball tasks, but the right IPL was normalized only by ATX in the oddball task. These results led us to conclude that fNIRS could visualize the differential neuropharmacological effects of both substances in the inhibitory and attentional networks: ATX to up-regulate the noradrenergic system reflected in the right IFG/MFG and IPL activations, and MPH to up-regulate the dopamine system reflected in the IFG/MFG activations.
