Research Shows How Ritalin Affects Brains of Kids With ADHD
Ritalin activates specific areas of the brain in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mimicking the brain activity of children without the condition, a new review says.
“This suggests that Ritalin does bring the brain [of a child with ADHD] back to the brain the typically developing kid has,” said study author Constance Moore, associate director of the translational center for comparative neuroimaging at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
Analyzing data from earlier studies that looked at how children’s brains were affected by doing certain tasks that are sometimes challenging for kids with ADHD, the researchers found that Ritalin (methylphenidate) was having a visible impact on three areas of the brain known to be associated with ADHD: the cortex, the cerebellum and the basal ganglia.
The study could be helpful in diagnosing and treating children with ADHD, Moore said. “It may be helpful to know that in certain children, Ritalin is having a physiological effect in the areas of the brain involved with attention and impulse control,” she said.
The research was published recently in the Harvard Review of Psychiatry.
Nine studies analyzed by the researchers used functional MRI to evaluate brain changes after children had taken a single dose of Ritalin. The children were involved in different types of tasks that tested their ability to focus and inhibit an impulse to act.
For example, to observe the brain’s reaction during a test of what is called “inhibitory control,” a child was told that every time he saw a zero show up on a screen, he should push the button on the right; every time he saw an X appear, he should push the left button. The children would then be asked to flip their responses, pushing the left button when they saw a zero.
“That’s hard to do,” Moore said, “because you’ve developed the habit [of pushing the other button], so you have to suppress your impulse. If you do 20 zeros and keep pressing and then you see an X, most kids with ADHD will hit the wrong button.”
In three out of five of the inhibitory control studies, Ritalin at least partially normalized brain activation in ADHD children.
To note how the brain reacted to a selective attention test, Moore said, children would first be asked, for example, what word they were seeing. The word would be “red,” and the color of the type also would be red. Then they would be shown the word “red,” but the color of the type would be green. In several studies, Ritalin affected activation in the frontal lobes during such inhibitory control tasks.
Most of the studies included in the review were performed in the United States or the United Kingdom. The majority of participants were adolescent boys, and all studies compared their results to healthy children of the same approximate age.
Because none of the studies looked at the correlation between ADHD symptoms and whether the child was taking Ritalin, there is no way to link the changes in brain activation with clinical improvement, Moore said. “It’s possible that kids who are not responsive to Ritalin may have brain changes too,” she said.
ADHD affects between 3 percent and 7 percent of school-aged children in the United States, according to the American Psychiatric Association. Boys are more likely to have ADHD than girls.
One expert was not surprised by the results.
“The review article shows there is a consensus of well-designed imaging studies showing that [Ritalin] has an impact on the frontal cortex of the brain, where we have long believed these patients have issues,” said Dr. Andrew Adesman, chief of developmental and behavioral pediatrics at the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York, in New Hyde Park. Adesman wondered if Ritalin may play a role in helping the brain mature.
“Their data provides partial support for that,” he said. “But if anything, the medicine seems to help the brain look more normal and doesn’t seem to do anything bad to it.”
"El amor es reciproco"
Cuando vives con mucha pasion y tienes el valor de amar de forma pura y desinteresada... estas condenado a una vida con mucha desilusion y frustracion... No todos expresan su amor con sencillez; porque todos tienen miedo de decir te amo y que no sea bienvenido... Les pido perdon si alguna vez deje de hablarles o me porte mal, pero es porque los quiero demasiado y me frustra a veces no entender su cariño...
para ti
Was it all wasted All that love?.....
Yo te extraño
Extraño tu risa y tus mejillas
La forma en que abres tus ojos
Que juguetean con los míos y
como me veo sumergido
en la infinidad de tus profundas pupilas
Esos cristales opalescente que ríen conmigo...
Aún Siento tu presencia,
Percibo tu aroma entre mis sabanas,
Es mi opio, mi placer oculto...
Agridulce tu recuerdo
lleno de cariño y desilusión
quiero olvidar mis prohibidos deseos,
para darte el amor de un amigo...
pero sueño con el silencio orquestal,
de sellar tus labios con los míos
Extraño que me hables,
Aunque haya pasado tan poco
Extraño no sentirte,
aunque vives en mi corazón,
Extraño no tenerte aquí.
No te olvido (fragmento)
No olvido tus manos, me sujetaron, cayendo en el tártaro
No olvido tus ojos, como si fueran los últimos, quiero cerrarlos con un beso
No olvido tu perfume, que embriaga mis sueños con locura cada noche
No te olvido… porque necesito tu presente, tú futuro y tú pasado, seamos uno para siempre, hasta la noche de los tiempos.
“THEY MADE US BELIEVE…”
“They made us believe that real love, the one that’s strong, only happens once, more likely before your thirties. They never told us that love is not something that you can put in motion, neither has time schedule.
They made us believe that each one of us is the half of an orange, and that life only makes sense when you find that other half. They did not tell us that we were born as whole, and that no one in our lives deserves to carry on his back such responsibility of completing what is missing on us: we grow through life by ourselves. If we have a good company it’s just more pleasant.
They made us believe in a formula “two in one”: two people sharing the same line of thinking, same ideas, and that it is what works. It’s never been told that it has another name: invalidation, that only two individuals with their own personality is how you can have a healthy relationship. It has been made to believe that marriage is an obliged institution and that fantasies out of hour should be repressed.
They made us believe that the thin and beautiful are the ones who are more loved, that the ones that have little sex are boring, and the ones that have a lot of it are not trustful, and that will always have a old shoes to a crooked foot; what they forgot to tell us is that there are more crooked minds than feet.
They made us believe that there’s one way formula to be happy, the same one to everybody, and the ones that escape from that are condemned to be delinquents. We have never been told that those formulas go wrong, they get people frustrated, they are alienating, and that we can try other alternatives. Oh! Also they did not tell us that no one will tell those things to us. Each and everyone of us will have to learn by ourselves.
And, when we get to the point that you are in love with yourself first, that’s when you can fall in love with somebody.”
– John Lennon
