Adderall is a brand of pharmaceutical psychostimulant created and prescribed to correct mental disorders, most commonly ADHD, as a possible alternative to Ritalin. By altering chemicals in the brain, Adderall increases user concentration and alertness, while decreasing cognitive fatigue.

o( Phenyl cx piperidyl acetic acid methyl ester hydrochloride (methyl phenidate, "ritalin ") has recently been introduced as a central nervous system stimulant. Animal experiments have shown that it increases psychomotor activity and has a pressor effect. Its effectiveness in counteracting the effects of hypnotics in man, experimentally and in cases of poisoning, has been reported, as has its u...

This paper explores one potential explanation of this discrepancy: the possibility that the benefit from enhancement stimulants is at least in part motivational, rather than purel...

UNLABELLED Recent work has demonstrated that human whole-brain functional connectivity patterns measured with fMRI contain information about cognitive abilities, including sustained attention. To derive behavioral predictions from connectivity patterns, our group developed a connectome-based predictive modeling (CPM) approach (Finn et al., 2015; Rosenberg et al., 2016). Previously using CPM, we...
