Rate dependency revisited: understanding the effects of methylphenidate in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Although stimulants are widely prescribed for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), their calming effects are not easily understood. One hypothesis derived from preclinical studies is that stimulants exert "rate-dependent" ...

Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal reactivity in boys with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

The hypothesis whether subjects with attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), who showed under-reactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis to stress, would make more commission errors in attention tasks, was examined. Forty-three ...

Electrophysiological investigation of the effectiveness of methylphenidate in children with and without ADHD.

The Continuous Performance Test (CPT) is an appropriate instrument for assessment of correlates at the brain electrical activity level of attention and response to stimulant medication. The aim of the study was to confirm at the electrophysiological ...
