Study Uncovers Howow Ritalin Works in the Brain

Posted Nov 17 2008 9:04pm

Ritalin and its derivatives have been used to treat ADD/ADHD for a very long time, but for the first time scientists are finally catching up with the “why” of all this. A study conducted by David Devilbiss and Craig Berridge of the university of Wisconsin has shown that Ritalin and drugs like it fine-tune the functioning of neurons in the prefrontal cortex of the brain.

This is pretty exciting stuff if you ask me.  I can’t possibly begin to explain the medical side of all of this, but please, PLEASE.  See this article for more information.  I’ll keep you posted as new details come out.
