Study Name: Anomalous Motor System Physiology in ADHD: Biomarker Validation and Modeling Domains of Function (IRB#: 00251063, Principal Investigator: Dr. Stewart Mostofsky, M.D.)

Funding: National Institute of Mental Health (Award #: 5R01MH078160-13)

Description: This research study investigates neural biomarkers (specific electrical signals in the motor area of the brain that control muscle movement and movement planning) associated with attention deficit/hyperactive disorder (ADHD). During the research appointments, participants complete a cognitive assessment, questionnaires, computer games that assess cognitive skills, movement activities that assess balance and coordination, and two 2-hour sessions of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Eligible Age Range: 8 years, 0 months and 12 years, 11 months

Time Commitment: Participation in this study requires two-full day appointments (typically 8:30am-2:30pm).

Compensation: Earn up to $50 per day

Eligible Age Range: 8 years, 0 months through 12 years, 11 months
