The role of dopamine in visuospatial attention.
- Conditions
- Methylphenidate, frequently prescribed in the treatment of ADHD, increases the central availability of both dopamine and noradrenaline. The roles of dopamine and noradrenaline in attention and inhibition are yet unclear. It is of importance to investigate the role of these neurotransmitter systems since at least 20 percent of patients do not benefit from methylphenidate or have undesired side effects.
