Direction of information flow between brain regions in ADHD and healthy children based on EEG by using directed phase transfer entropy.

ABSTRACT: Directed information flow between brain regions might be disrupted in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) which is related to the behavioral characteristics of ADHD. This paper aims to investigate the different information pathways of brain networks in children with ADHD in comparison with healthy subjects. EEG recordings were obtained from 61 children with ADHD and 60 healthy children without neurological disorders during attentional visual task. Effective connectivity among all scalp channels was calculated using directed phase transfer entropy (dPTE) for delta, theta, alpha, beta, and lower-gamma frequency bands. Group differences were evaluated using permutation tests in connectivity between regions. Significant posterior to anterior patterns of information fl
