Attention dysregulation from frontal-striatal circuit differences. Not "can't focus"—can't regulate attention. ADHD brains show elevated theta-beta ratios in frontal regions, reduced prefrontal activation during executive tasks, and altered dopamine signaling in reward pathways. Understanding your specific ADHD phenotype matters. Some show primarily inattentive patterns (frontal theta excess), others show hyperactive-impulsive patterns (sensorimotor dysregulation), many show both. QEEG reveals your individual signature. Evidence-based interventions include neurofeedback (particularly SMR and beta training), medication (stimulants or non-stimulants), behavioral strategies, sleep optimization, and executive function coaching. No single solution works for everyone—personalize based on your brain's patterns.

SMR (sensorimotor rhythm, ~12–15 Hz) is the workhorse protocol in neurofeedback: it builds calm alertness, improves sleep spindles, and stabilizes impulse control by strengthening thalamocortical inhibition.
