Andrew Huberman explains the biology of ADHD and shares behavioral, cognitive, and pharmacological protocols to improve focus.
See Andrew Huberman live in New York, Los Angeles & San Francisco: go.hubermanlab.com/protocols-event In this episode, I discuss ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder): what it is, the common myths, and the biology and psychology of ADHD. I discuss both behavioral and pharmacologic treatments for ADHD, and brain-machine interface tools. I also discuss behavioral training protocols that can improve focus in people with ADHD and those without ADHD, and for people of different ages. I discuss the role of dopamine in coordinating 'default-mode' and 'task-related' neural networks, attentional "blinks" (lapses of attention) and how to overcome them, and the role of actual blinks in time perception and attention. Finally, I review some of the prescription and over-the-counter compounds for increasing focus such as Adderall, Ritalin, Modafinil and Armodafinil, the racetams, Alpha-GPC and phosphatidylserine and the role of diet for managing ADHD (and the controversies of diet for ADHD). The role of cell phones/technology in ADHD and ADHD-like challenges with focus are also discussed. Throughout, both basic science and clinical scenarios, as well as applicable tools and resources are covered. #HubermanLab Thank you to our sponsors: ROKA - roka.com/huberman Helix Sleep - helixsleep.com/huberman Supplements from Thorne: thorne.com/u/huberman Support Research in the Huberman Lab at Stanford: hubermanlab.stanford.edu/giving Social & Website Instagram: instagram.com/hubermanlab Twitter: twitter.com/hubermanlab Facebook: facebook.com/hubermanlab TikTok: tiktok.com/@hubermanlab LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/andrew-huberman Website: hubermanlab.com Newsletter: hubermanlab.com/neural-network Links: Review of Compounds for ADHD, Smart Drugs & Focus - fbscience.com/Landmark/articles/10.52586/4948 Review of Atypical Compounds for ADHD - hindawi.com/journals/np/2016/1320423/ Study of Focus Protocol In ADHD & Non-ADHD Children - mdpi.com/1660-4601/17/13/4780 Timestamps: Introduction & Note About Diagnosis Sponsors ADHD vs. ADD: Genetics, IQ, Rates in Kids & Adults Attention & Focus, Impulse Control Hyper-focus Time Perception The Pile System Working Memory Hyper-Focus & Dopamine Neural Circuits In ADHD: Default Mode Network & Task-Related Networks Low Dopamine in ADHD & Stimulant Use & Abuse Sugar, Ritalin, Adderall, Modafinil & Armodafinil Non-Prescribed Adderall, Caffeine, Nicotine How Stimulants “Teach” the Brains of ADHD Children to Focus When To Medicate: A Highly Informed (Anecdotal) Case Study Elimination Diets & Allergies In ADHD Omega-3 Fatty Acids: EPAs & DHAs Modulation vs Mediation of Biological Processes AWhy it's here

Stayfocusd chrome extension for sites that are trouble during working hours. I've started to implement the advice here: link to this video albeit too early to tell. He's pretty well credentialed though, so I trust on average the advice is good (but specifically for each individual YMMV) One of his best points is dont act like or prescribe yourself ADHD solutions until you have a true diagnosis by an expert. Losing focus and distractions is commonplace for all people today, not just ADHD folks.

From link to this video : > An area called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex ... the posterior cingulate cortex, and ... the lateral parietal lobe ... these are three brain areas that normally are synchronized in their activities ... that's how it is in a typical person. In a person with ADHD ... these brain areas are not playing well with each other. I wonder if part of t…

Just used this to clear out my watch later list without having to watch anything. Nice! Only note I have at this time is that it seemed to time out or hang or something on a long video (>2h) -- I'm guessing that there might be limitations to how much transcript you can chuck into GPT, it might be worth throwing an error of some sort in that scenario rather than the forever load E: Seen you've asked for an example to the other person mentioning this. In my case it was this video link to this video
