Increased mirror overflow movements in ADHD are associated with altered EEG alpha/beta band desynchronization

Children with ADHD show developmentally abnormal levels of mirror overflow—unintentional movements occurring symmetrically opposite of intentional movements. Because mirror overflow correlates with ADHD behavioral symptoms, the study of disinhibition in motor control may shed light on physiologic mechanisms underlying impaired behavioral/cognitive control. This is a case–controlled study of EEG recording from 25 children with ADHD and 25...
