Norbert Borger

Norbert Borger is a Researcher in the Department of Clinical & Developmental Neuropsychology at the Faculty of Behavioural and Social Sciences, University of Groningen. His work primarily focuses on ADHD across the lifespan, with particular emphasis on neuropsychological mechanisms, state regulation, and brain lateralization.

Dr. Borger's research interests center on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), with specific expertise in executive functioning, state regulation mechanisms, brain lateralization, and visual field processing in both clinical and non-clinical populations. His work often examines ADHD through a dimensional lens rather than categorical diagnosis, exploring how ADHD symptoms manifest across the general population. He has conducted significant research on how state regulation and brain laterality interact with ADHD symptoms in adults, as well as investigating daily life executive functioning in university students with ADHD.

Analysis of Dr. Borger's publication record reveals a consistent focus on the neurocognitive underpinnings of ADHD, particularly examining how brain lateralization, interhemispheric interaction, and state regulation mechanisms relate to ADHD symptomatology. His work spans multiple methodologies including behavioral testing, physiological measures (such as blink rate analysis), and population-based studies. Recent research has expanded to include the impact of external factors like the COVID-19 pandemic on ADHD symptoms in university populations.

Dr. Borger has been involved in numerous collaborative research projects, frequently working with colleagues such as Dr. J.J. van der Meere, Dr. R.H. Geuze, and Dr. S.M.H. Mohamed. His research has been published in reputable journals including Journal of Attention Disorders, Experimental Brain Research, and Journal of Neural Transmission.

His laboratory work appears to focus on neuropsychological assessment of ADHD, particularly using paradigms that examine visual field processing, error monitoring, and state regulation mechanisms. The research group employs both traditional neuropsychological tests and more specialized paradigms to investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying ADHD.
