Objective: Methylphenidate is effective in reducing ADHD symptoms in the short term, but long-term benefits are inconsistent, possibly due to the development of tolerance. Moreover, little is known about its sustained effects on brain functional connectivity. We examined whether a 4-month methylphenidate treatment leads to sustained alterations in resting-state functional connectivity, and whether acute brain responses to methylphenidate decrease after treatment, as a potential marker of neurobiological tolerance.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is central to studying neurobiological mechanisms, yet fMRI has limited clinical utility, highlighting the need for novel approaches. We show that a component of the fMRI signal-the systemic low-frequency oscillation (sLFO), linked to blood flow and physiological measures of arousal-indexes trait- and state-level drug use phenotypes. In individuals who chronically use nicotine, sLFO amplitude increased during abstinence and correlated with heightened dependence severity and cue-induced craving.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of methylphenidate on oral health, salivary flow rate, and quality of life in children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), focusing on differences between short-release methylphenidate (SRM) and long-release methylphenidate (LRM) formulations.
Materials And Methods: A total of 99 children participated in this cross-sectional study (ADHD: n = 49; divided into SRM (n = 27) and LRM (n = 22) subgroups based on medication type; control: n = 50). Dental caries was assessed using the DMFT/dft indices and the International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS), while oral hygiene was evaluated using the Plaque Index (PI), Gingival Index (GI), and Bleeding on Probing (BOP).

Isolated dystonia can be caused by loss-of-function mutations in the GNAL gene (DYT-GNAL/DYT25). This gene encodes the α subunit of the heterotrimeric G protein, which, with βγ subunits, mediates the stimulatory coupling of dopamine D1 and adenosine A2A receptors to adenylyl-cyclase. These receptors are expressed in distinct striatal projection neurons (SPNs) with complementary functions in motor behavior.

Importance: Individuals with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may present with psychosis or bipolar disorder (BD) following treatment with stimulants. The extent to which this occurs is currently unclear.
Objective: To meta-analytically quantify the occurrence of psychosis or BD after exposure to stimulants in individuals with ADHD and assess possible moderating factors.
