It was founded in the spring of 2019. Our mission is to make our knowledge, expertise and especially ‘Insights’ gained through our research, widely available through books and interactive media. All proceeds of the publishing division are fully invested back into the research that is conducted at Research Institute Brainclinics, which creates an unprecedented synergy between these divisions and generates new future insights.

Brain activity predicts response to Ritalin in ADHD
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][WP-Coder id="1"] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Brain activity predicts response to Ritalin in ADHD; Implications for male-female differences [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class="maintext"]Nijmegen, July 3rd, 2018 – Today results from the large multicenter iSPOT-A study were published in European Neuropsychopharmacology, demonstrating that brain activity can assist in predicting response to Ritalin in male adolescents with ADHD. In addition, this study clearly demonstrated gender differences in brain activity, where brain activity only predicted Ritalin response in males and not in females with ADHD. No differences in brain activity were found between children with and without ADHD, further demonstrating the value of brain imaging in prognosis rather than diagnosis....
Meta-analysis confirms sustained effects of neurofeedback
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][WP-Coder id="1"] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Meta-analysis confirms sustained effects of neurofeedback in children with ADHD [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class="maintext"]Nijmegen, February 16th, 2018 - An international group of researchers conducted a meta-analysis that systematically looked at all available studies and found that after an intensive course of neurofeedback, the clinical benefit of neurofeedback on ADHD symptoms was maintained over a 6-month follow-up period (without treatment). At follow-up the effects of neurofeedback were not inferior to active treatments such as medication, whereas benefits for non-active control groups (such as cognitive training) were no longer present at follow-up. These results have now been published in the scientific...
Male and female brain rhythms show differences
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][WP-Coder id="1"] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Male and female brain rhythms show differences; 'Deep-Learning' reveals different EEG patterns [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class="maintext"]The electric brain signals, measured by using EEG, of males and females show differences. The difference can’t be detected by visual inspection, not even by the trained eye of a neurologist. A ‘deep learning’ computer is able to find it. Researchers of the University of Twente, the University of Zürich and Research Institute Brainclinics in Nijmegen, publish these results in Scientific Reports of 15 February. Male and female brains are different, functionally and anatomically. But that the EEG (electro-encephalography) signals, measured using electrodes placed...
Combined rTMS-psychotherapy effective treatment for depression
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][WP-Coder id="1"] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Combined rTMS and psychotherapy an effective treatment for depression [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class="maintext"]Nijmegen (The Netherlands), November, 16th 2017 – Magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) combined with concurrent psychotherapy seems more effective, then either alone, as was just published in the international journal ‘Brain Stimulation’ based on a study in 196 patients. After an average of 21 sessions, 66% of patients with treatment resistant depression responded well to treatment, with a lasting effect after 6 months in 65% of this group. rTMS an effective add-on for psychotherapy A large study by Donse, Padberg, Sack, Rush and Arns 1), carried out in...
Brainclinics active at Brain Stimulation conference in Barcelona

Tabitha Iseger will present data that validate the proof-of-concept behind the new Neuro-Cardiac-Guided TMS (Heart-Brain Coupling) approach. This method could potentially become a new way to more reliably identify the right cortical locations for rTMS stimulation in the treatment of depression. Lana Donse will present some first clinical results on rTMS treatment in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), association with sleep problems and predictors for treatment response to rTMS. Neuro-Cardiac Guided TMS (NCG...

During this successful, well attended (160 visitors from 24 different countries), meeting the following topics were presented by Brainclinics: Dr. Martijn Arns presented the current status of personalized medicine and new results from the latest treatment prediction studies for depression and ADHD. Drs. Berrie Gerrits showed promising results demonstrating that people who have good...
Brain activity predicts personalized antidepressant treatment

In addition, this study clearly demonstrated qualitative differences in brain activity between males and females with depression, with implications for predicting antidepressant treatment outcome. An international group of researchers including researchers from Research Institute Brainclinics and Utrecht University published results from the international multicenter iSPOT-D study (international Study to Predict Optimized...
Association between ADHD and intensity of sunlight
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] [WP-Coder id="1"]Association between ADHD and intensity of sunlight: Can ADHD be prevented? [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class="maintext"]Nijmegen, October 21st, 2013 – A study published today in Biological Psychiatry (Do Sunny Climates Reduce ADHD?) sheds new light on the increasing rates (prevalence) of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, known as ADHD. Children with ADHD have problems with inattention, distractibility, disorganization, impulsiveness, and overactivity. This study found that “sunny” regions with high solar intensity, such as the US states of California, Arizona, and Colorado, and countries like Spain and Mexico have lower prevalence of ADHD. An apparent protective effect of sunlight accounted for 34-57% of the variance in ADHD...
