Executive Functions




                        (c) New Leaves Clinic
Why do we care about EF?
 We care because EF challenges reduce what gets
 in…
                              …and what gets out!

Pre-Frontal Cortex
The prefrontal cortex guides behaviors,
thoughts, and feelings using representational
knowledge, i.e., working memory.

These fundamental cognitive abilities subserve
the so-called executive functions:
• the ability to inhibit inappropriate behaviors
   and thoughts,
• regulate our attention,
• monitor our actions,
• and plan and organize for the future.

Neuropsychological and imaging studies
indicate that these prefrontal cortex functions
are weaker in patients with attention-                           Watch this

Types of ADHD: Dr. Amen
Type 1 – Classic ADHD: hyperactivity and impulsivity  stimulant meds

Type 2 – Inattentive ADHD, but instead of hyperactivity, there is low energy 
stimulant meds

Type 3 -- Overfocused ADHD + negative thoughts, behaviors (opposition/arguing) 
antidepressant + stimulant meds

Type 4 -- Temporal Lobe ADHD + irritability, aggressiveness, and memory/learning
problems  antiseizure meds better than stimulant meds

Type 5 -- Limbic ADHD + depression, low energy, decreased motivation  stimulating
antidepressants better than stimulant meds

Type 6 -- The Ring of Fire Cross between ADHD and bipolar disorder; moodiness,
aggressiveness, and anger  anticonvulsants/antipsychotic meds better than stimulants

Meltdown vs Shutdown



                         MELTDOWN

                         SHUTDOWN

                Meltdown: Meltdown occurs when
                the person has reached the top...
                and can no longer control their brain.

                  Shutdown: A person can learn to
                  shutdown (shut out) all stimuli.

dys
The amount of room you have to process data is equal to 1 measuring cup. The
brain has a natural feedback loop that monitors data level. Your brain’s job is to
reduce data if it is getting ‘too high’. Reducing data is done through blocking info,
taking a break, relaxing, and engaging in personal interests.

NT: Feedback loop works at all levels. This results
in excellent ‘regulation’.

ASD: ‘Numb’ until 500ml. This results in ‘immediate
and unexpected’ agitation, shutdown & meltdown.

ADHD: Sporadic feedback loop. This results in a
range of regulation from excellent to meltdown,
different from minute to minute.

Anxiety/Depression: The emotion takes up 300ml
at all times. This results in very little room for other
data and results in agitation, meltdown & shutdown.

When someone isn’t able to show their smarts, they feel frustrated, anxious and
angry. When this happens over and over, the person learns to quit trying because
trying doesn’t work!

Processing speed is how fast your brain can
  take in new data, process it, and store it.




                     PROBLEM:
     A narrowing in how fast Incoming data can be
     processed and moved into long term storage.
(c) New Leaves Clinic




    Processing Speed is how fast a brain can take in information.

    Speeding causes the brain to fill up and overflow. All the data that overflows
    falls out of my brain. It’s gone!

    When I only get part of the info (because the rest overflowed) my brain
    throws it away….because it doesn’t make sense.

                        The moral of the story is I’m not filling up my intelligence!

How do you get ‘high’?
People with ADHD have challenges with specific neurotransmitters.
(i.e. Dopamine, Glutamate, Norepinephrine).
                    They seek them out, one way or another!

  • 21. (c) New Leaves Clinic dys The amount of room you have to process data is equal to 1 measuring cup. The brain has a natural feedback loop that monitors data level. Your brain’s job is to reduce data if it is getting ‘too high’. Reducing data is done through blocking info, taking a break, relaxing, and engaging in personal interests. NT: Feedback loop works at all levels. This results in excellent ‘regulation’. ASD: ‘Numb’ until 500ml. This results in ‘immediate and unexpected’ agitation, shutdown & meltdown. ADHD: Sporadic feedback loop. This results in a range of regulation from excellent to meltdown, different from minute to minute. Anxiety/Depression: The emotion takes up 300ml at all times. This results in very little room for other data and results in agitation, meltdown & shutdown.

  • 28. (c) New Leaves Clinic Processing Speed is how fast a brain can take in information. Speeding causes the brain to fill up and overflow. All the data that overflows falls out of my brain. It’s gone! When I only get part of the info (because the rest overflowed) my brain throws it away….because it doesn’t make sense. The moral of the story is I’m not filling up my intelligence!

Notas do Editor

  1. ADHD is a pejorative term and highly misunderstood  Executive FunctionEF: skills like overlapping clouds that are named differently by each researcherDevelopment: Longest part of the brain to develop – finish near 23-25
  2. Data In / Data Out:Data is deleted going in (like a bad keyboard)When the data is messed up going in, LTM often dumps it completely. (3 years behind academically by end of HS)Going out, a portion is stolen, yet again.Pejorative statements:He just isn’t trying.He could do it if he would focus.His grades don’t match how smart he is…I know he is smarter than he seems.He can do it when he wants to.He isn’t motivated.
  3. Basic Anatomy:PFC: Prefrontal Cortex  literally the brain region where EFs are housedEFvs ADD vs ADHD vsPFC damage  all saying the same thing….WATCH THIS VIDEO! TED talk summarizing challenge with teen EF  14 minutes.
  4. DSM: Says there are 2 types that are different.Instead, think of challenges more like on a pole: Hyper on 1 end – Hypo at the other endSome people do stay at one end of the pole, but the vast majority slide up and down…at random….within seconds, minutes, hours.SCT: Sluggish Cognitive TempoResearches believe that true SCT (what used to be ADD with no hyperactivity) is a distinct brain pattern unrelated to what we think of as ADHD.Poles: Think of it as astonomicallyunderactivated (ie after 2 glasses of wine, 2 Benadryl, being awoken at 2 am)SCT tends to be BFFs with: anxiety, slow processing speed, and being an air head (what?)
  5. Functional understanding of impairment1. You could have: Primary, Secondary or Primary & Secondary2. Primary: PFC problems3. Secondary: LD, Emo problems (that make than car run rough, like a flat tire)4. BOTH: ex: ADHD & dyslexia or SCT and Depression-------------------- This is why we REALLY want to see testing. Treating the wrong…creating more failure…causes hopelessness.
  6. Working MemoryMental note padGoalsPast PRESENT FuturePast: this is why punishments don’t work well – just demoralizeFuture: forget what they are bothering to persist with a boring taskPresent: HIGHLY CHARISMATIC …or DEPRESSEDStart (Initiate)(gas pedal)(Projects, chores, homework)Often caused by a combo of multiple EFsStop (Inhibit)(Thoughts, words, body, behavior)sensesShift (slippy gear shifter)Switching too fast – losing data (distraction)hyperfocusPacing (no cruise control)Processing SpeedUp/Down Roller CoasterTimeNo internal clock2 problems:Procrastinate: think you have enough time when you don’t.Forever: think you have been working forever when you haven’tMonitoring self(thoughts, words, body, behavior)Causes problems with friends – friends assume you disrespected them on purposePlanningBreaking things down into manageable partsOrganizing(Thoughts, words, body, writing)Literally creating systems that organize your stuff (ie backpack)Too much – losing bitsthrowing bits fast as possible to grab other bitsPrioritize“no depth perception” for importanceEmotional ControlToo full – all/some topple outNot enough gradationsfrozen
  7. Russell Barkley, PhD is a world leader in ADHD/EF.This is his model on how they all work together. Video – 3 minutes: Basic summary of what EFs are…
  8. Have you heard of the Brown scales of ADHD? This is how he thinks they work….
  9. Dr. Daniel AmenMD - a world renowned expert in brain scienceTrained in psychiatryHe overtly disrespects psychiatry as “the one medical field that does not bother to look at the body part they are treating”He began with ADHD – did thousands of SPECT scans1 scan while relaxing2 scan while concentrating (literally doing a CPT)so he could literally see how brain areas are being utilized in real time.He found 6 TYPES of ADHD…and wrote a famous book about it. *********He has literally saved the lives of several of many very challenged teens who had seen a dozen + docs of all types. They simply had very unusal brain styles and when drug A was given, it messed with area B….When area B med was given, it messed with area A.His focus: We are actively harming our brains without knowing it. We can literally heal many problems, or at least greatly reduce them through:Sleep (dementia)Diet (Protein)Exercise (increases blood flow which heals, as well as increases activity in slow areas)Blood Panel (if you are low in certain vitamins/minerals you can’t MAKE neurotransmitters….and for some, you can’t metabolize the med you may be on and are considered ‘treatment resistent’.Brain Training: Braingystics, CogMed, CBT were are neuroplasticMeds: but only after the above to reduce and clarify amount neededI see his focus is: RD (dietician), ND (naturopath), MD truly holisticSince then he has found multiple types of every psychiatric label…..and has been a genius and clarifying brain disorders no one else could pinpoint. We are the only psychological practice in Oregon that is an educational provider for Amen Clinics. Which means we provide follow up care, coordination with MD/ND at Amen Clinics and continue the process toward science based brain health.If they want to know more about the types, they are nicely laid out on his website at the bottom of the ADHD page.
