UNIQUE PHARMACODYNAMIC PROFILE OF METHYLPHENIDATE: SELF-ADMINISTRATION-INDUCED DOPAMINE SYSTEM ALTERATIONS
Methylphenidate (MPH), the active compound in the medication Ritalin, is commonly diverted for off-label use. It is abused at high rates in both the adolescent and adult population; however, until recently, the neurochemical effects of MPH abuse had not been explored in depth. Pharmacologically MPH …

The influence of Methylphenidate on the development of the forensically significant blow fly Chrysomya chloropyga (Diptera: Calliphoridae) in the Western Cape Province
… of Ritalin (methylphenidate hydrochloride) (MPH) on the development of Chrysomya chloropyga. C. chloropyga larvae were reared on pig liver treated with MPH and exhibited a trend of expedited larval development and prolonged pupal development. Conservatively, the results suggest that MPH may …

EFFECTS OF CHRONIC METHYLPHENIDATE ON DOPAMINE/SEROTONIN INTERACTIONS IN THE MESOLIMBIC DOPAMINE SYSTEM OF THE MOUSE
Methylphenidate (MPH) is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the United States. MPH is a psychostimulant that inhibits the dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) transporters to increase extracellular monoamines. Abuse rates of MPH are increasing as prescription rates increase, but the …

The Role of Dopamine on Central Neuromuscular Activation during Passive Hyperthermia
Acute methylphenidate (MPH) (dopamine reuptake inhibitor) ingestion improves cycling time trial performance and power output in hot conditions (30 C), while also allowing for tolerance of higher core temperatures. However, the mechanisms for why this occurs have not been isolated. One potential …

The Effect and Chronic Acute Pre-Treatment with Methylphenidate on Recovery of Cognitive Function Following Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury In Rats
… medication for ADHD is methylphenidate (MPH). Based on the increase in the number of new diagnoses of ADHD and the number of children who continue taking MPH into adulthood, it is important to evaluate how chronic or acute MPH administered prior to injury may influence recovery following …

The Neurocognitive Sequelae of Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury and the Utility of Treatment with Methylphenidate
… pharmacological treatment i.e., Methylphenidate (MPh). This work aims to further our understanding of the detrimental functional consequences of TBI and inform targeted neurorehabilitation options. In the first experimental chapter, I use task-based functional MRI data acquired during a Tower of …

Behavioral Responses to Methylphenidate: Correlations With Neuronal Activity In The Caudate Nucleus
… adolescents and adults. Chronic methylphenidate (MPH) exposure results in an increase in DA in the motive circuit, including the caudate nucleus (CN), similar to other drugs of abuse. This study focuses on research aimed to elucidate if there are intrinsic underlying differences in the CN …

The Effects of Methylphenidate on Resource Allocation in the Mental Processing of ADD Children
<p>The effect of Methylphenidate (MPH) on the short-term memory scanning of boys with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) was examined from the perspectives of a linear stages model and a capacity model of information processing. A total of 36, six- to ten-year-old boys participated in three age- and …

Experimental Evaluation and Adams Simulation of the Kinetic Suspension System
… #5 in California. The vehicles were run at 55 mph and 70 mph, then swept through the range of speeds from 70 mph to 0 mph. This data was analyzed to provide the specific bounce and pitch responses for 55 and 70 mph, as well as the frequency responses for the range of possible speeds.
