ADHD drug Ritalin has no effect on primate prefrontal cortex
Date:
February 25, 2019
Source:
Society for Neuroscience
Summary:
In contrast to studies of mice and rats, new research investigating the effect of methylphenidate (Ritalin) on neuronal activity in monkeys has found no effect of the drug on the prefrontal cortex. The study leaves open the question of how and why Ritalin improves attention in humans.


Interesting....

The only thing I can tell you is that it does work. I have taken ritalin as a prescription and it WORKS. Life is much better with it than with out. It is like needing glasses and not having access to an optomitrist-- the world is limited, and one is less functional, and all the "posibilities" are not even realized. Hence so many ADD/AHDH cannot reach their full potential.

I would also queestion how the moneys were tested..... they dont have speech. Look at the test for ADD/ADHD and see if a monkey can take that test.
