Dr. Newcorn is a highly-regarded researcher in the areas of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), aggression, descriptive psychopathology of child and adolescent disorders, and child and adolescent psychopharmacology. His work spans both clinical and translational topics. He is a member of the steering committee of the NIMH-funded multicenter study “Multimodal Treatment of Children with ADHD (MTA).” He was a member of the DSM-IV advisory committees on child and adolescent disorders and disruptive behavior disorders. He is the primary investigator on a NIMH-funded ADHD Research Infrastructure Network devoted to understanding the neurobiology of ADHD, and is the principle investigator or co-investigator on several NIMH-funded grants that examine the clinical, genetic, neuroanatomic and neurophysiologic basis of ADHD its treatment. He is a nationally recognized educator and mentor, and is the primary or secondary mentor on five NIMH training grants. He is an editorial board member of several leading child psychiatry and psychology journals, and conducts ad hoc reviews for many other leading psychiatry journals, and NIMH. Dr. Newcorn directs an active clinical trials program, and has studied many of the newer medication treatments for ADHD. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on these and related subjects.

Clinical Trials
Efficacy of Lisdexamfetamine in Adults with ADHD and Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT)
Although Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) may represent a clinically meaningful condition with distinct underlying pathophysiology that differs from ADHD, research indicates that SCT is common among adults with ADHD. We will investigate treatment response of adults with ADHD and SC...
A Phase 4, Randomized, Double-blind, Multicenter, Parallel-group, Active-controlled, Forced-dose Titration, Safety and Efficacy Study of SPD489 (VYVANSE®) Compared with OROS-MPH (CONCERTA®) with a Placebo Reference Arm, in Adolescents Aged 13-17 Years with Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
This trial is examining the use of Concerta or Vyvanse in adolescents ages 13-17 who have ADHD. The purpose of this study is to examine the response to two commonly prescribed stimulant medications that are FDA approved for treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents. The...
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Study
The purpose of this study is to examine the response to a commonly prescribed medication that is FDA approved for treatment of ADHD in children and adolescents. The study will include weekly visits with study physicians, evaluations for ADHD and other disorders, and medication fo...
Imaging Stimulant and Non-Stimulant Treatments for ADHD: A Network Based Approach
This study represents an important first step in developing an individualized approach to treatment selection in youth with ADHD, in keeping with our agenda highlighting personalized approaches to clinical care. We are recruiting 80 youth with ADHD and 40 healthy children without...
Neurobiological Basis of Response to Vyvanse in Adults with ADHD: An fMRI Study of Brain Activation
The purpose of this study is to examine response to a commonly prescribed medication that is FDA approved for treatment of ADHD in adults. The study will include weekly visits with study physicians, evaluations for ADHD and other disorders, and medication for the treatment of ADH...
Predicting Response to Atomoxetine and Methylphenidate
The purpose of this study is three-fold. First, to compare the efficacy of four to five weeks of treatment with methylphenidate (Concerta™) and atomoxetine (Strattera™) on ADHD symptoms and associated functional impairment. Second, to evaluate differences in adverse effects and p...
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Study: Methylphenidate v. Atomoxetine
The purpose of this federally-funded research study is to examine and compare mechanisms of action of two FDA approved medications for the treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). If volunteers are participating in the medication treatment study that examines...
Neurobiological Basis of Response to Vayarin® in Adults with ADHD: an fMRI Study of Brain Activation Pre and Post Treatment
Our prior research suggests that effective non-stimulant treatments for ADHD act through key prefrontal regions that subserve inhibitory and executive functions, although different medications may achieve these effects via distinct mechanisms. The objective of this research is to...
