Clinical trials: Appetitive Behavior
Healthy, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Control of Cognition (Naltrexone, Methylphenidate, and ADHD Study (NMAS))
The goal of this research is to understand the functioning of 'regulatory circuits' in the brain. We are also interested in how the medications methylphenidate and naltrexone affect these regulatory circuits.
