Antonia’s second paper was accepted, which includes data from the INEMO project. In this study we investigated emotion regulation in adult ADHD using functional MRI. More specifically, we wanted to examine how emotional reactivity was modulated by working memory activation. Contrary to previous studies in adolescent ADHD, we did not find altered emotional reactivity in individuals with ADHD compared to controls in our sample. Interestingly, working memory activation did not alter the neural correlates underlying emotional reactivity in ADHD or controls. Future studies will be needed to investigate whether this is different for individuals with ADHD with more severe emotional dysregulation.
