Abstract

Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder(ADHD) is a common neuropsychological disorder in children, which is mainly manifested by defects in executive function such as inhibition, refresh, and conversion. Many studies have shown that exercise intervention, as an emerging treatment modality, can replace medication and psycho-behavioral interventions, and have a positive effect on ADHD children, improving their executive functions such as refreshment, conversion and inhibition. Functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) and event-related potentials(ERP), two commonly used neuroimaging techniques, are important methods for studying ADHD in the completion of various cognitive processing activities and for comparing differences in brain regions and potentials. It has been shown that exercise interventions can activate brain areas closely related to executive functions such as the frontal lobe, bilateral parietal lobe, temporal lobe, hippocampus and cerebellum in ADHD children, effectively improving the latency and amplitude of the N2 and P3 components of the ERP in ADHD children, promoting the improvement of executive functions in ADHD children and consequently improving their clinical symptoms such as cognitive performance, memory, learning difficulties and emotional abnormalities. Both fMRI and ERP techniques have their own drawbacks and shortcomings. In future research, multimodal neuroimaging studies and emerging technologies can be used to improve the diagnosis and intervention of brain dysfunction in children with ADHD, to investigate and intervene on the neurophysiological mechanisms of children with ADHD as a whole, and to further explore the etiology and intervention methods of ADHD.
