“…This Expectancy may be reflected in the contingent negative variation, an ERP which is later than the P300, and reflects the learned association between the US and the CS+ that produces fear (Wong et al, 1994; Harris, 2005; Wessa and Flor, 2007). The contingent negative variation is associated with a decrease in alpha power so that the present increase in magnitude of alpha ERD seems to be inconsistent with Expectancy but not Salience or Valence (Grunewald-Zuberbier et al, 1978; Filipovic et al, 2001). …”

Imaging studies have described hemodynamic activity during fear conditioning protocols with stimulus trains in which a visual conditioned stimulus (CS+) is paired with an aversive unconditioned stimulus (US, painful laser pulse) while another visual stimulus is unpaired (CS−). We now test the hypothesis that CS Event-Related Spectral Perturbations (ERSPs) are related to ratings of CS Expectancy (likelihood of pairing with the US), Valence (unpleasantness) and Salience (ability to capture attention). ERSP windows in EEG were defined by both time after the CS and frequency, and showed increased oscillatory power (Event Related Synchronization, ERS) in the delta/theta Windows (0–8 Hz) and the gamma Window (30–55 Hz). Decreased oscillatory power (Event Related Desynchronization – ERD) was found in alpha (8–14 Hz) and beta Windows (14–30 Hz). The delta/theta ERS showed a differential effect of CS+ versus CS− at Prefrontal, Frontal and Midline Channels, while alpha and beta ERD were greater at Parietal and Occipital Channels early in the stimulus train. The gamma ERS Window increased from Habituation to Acquisition over a broad area from Frontal and occipital electrodes. The CS Valence and Salience were greater for CS+ than CS−, and were correlated with each other and with the ERD at overlapping Channels, particularly in the alpha Window. Expectancy and CS Skin Conductance Response were greater for CS+ than CS− and were correlated with ERSP at fewer Channels than Valence or Salience. These results suggest that alpha ERSP activity during fear conditioning reflects Valence and Salience of the CSs more than conditioning per se. The CS Valence and Salience were correlated with each other and with ERSP in the alpha Window more commonly than in other windows. Delta/theta ERSP differentiates between CS+ and CS− over a Midline Channel at which ERSP is correlated with Expectancy ratings. Although, both Expectancy and CS Skin Conductance Response (SCR) were correlated with ERSP this correlation occurred at fewer and different Channels than those for Valence or Salience. These results suggest that ERSP activity is related to Valence and Salience of the CSs more than to conditioning per se.

“…For example, early research reported reduced CNV in children with concentration problems. 26 Later investigations have also shown similar results such that an attenuated CNV 1, 27 and a reduced frontal-central CNV 2 have been observed in children with ADHD. 28 Moreover, Johnstone and Clarke 29 revealed a reduced CNV 2 across the midline for ADHD inattentive subtype and across the central region for ADHD combined subtype, suggesting a deficiency in energy pools that points specifically to reduced effort to meet task demands.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of acute exercise on reaction time and response preparation during a Go/No Go Task in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).. Methods: Nineteen children with ADHD (aged between 8 and 12 years old) undertook a 30-min intervention that consisted of treadmill running or video-watching presented in a counterbalanced order on different days. A Go/No Go Task was administrated after exercise or video-watching. Results: The results indicated a shorter reaction time and smaller contingent negative variation (CNV) 2 amplitude following exercise relative to the video-watching. For event related potential (ERP) analyses, greater CNV 1 and CNV 2 amplitudes in response to No Go stimuli in comparison to Go stimuli was observed in the video-watching session only. Conclusion: These findings suggest that acute exercise may benefit children with ADHD by developing appropriate response preparation, particularly in maintaining a stable motor preparatory set prior to performing the given task.

“…Neurophysiological studies have implicated an ensemble of thalamocortical structures involved in CNV generation including the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, frontal cortex, thalamus, and midbrain dopaminergic nuclei involved in CNV generation [62][63][64]. Numerous studies have demonstrated that CNV amplitude may be reduced in ADHD [56,[65][66][67][68] and may represent a persistent deficit in patients with ADHD [69••], although there have also been some negative findings [58,70,71].…”

The historic development of the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) construct is, in many cases, paralleled by research questions addressed with the continuous performance test (CPT). This task, the use of which dates back to the 1950s for the diagnosis of brain damage, requires responding to rare targets in a sequence of stimuli during prolonged assessment. In our review, we illustrate how the CPT was and still is used for the assessment of sustained attention and impulsivity as core features of ADHD. In addition to impaired performance at the neuropsychological level, the CPT also taps underlying brain activity that can be registered by neuroimaging techniques such as fMRI and EEG. The latter allows more detailed operationalization of ADHD theories, and reveals impairments at different stages of information processing. The CPT has also been applied for treatment evaluation. Recently, distinct genetic effects on preparation and response control or impulsivity were detected using the CPT. As such, the task remains a valuable tool for further investigations of genetic and environmental factors of ADHD.
