Methylphenidate facilitates learning-induced amygdala plasticity : Nature Neuroscience : Nature Publishing Group

nature.com

The mechanisms by which methylphenidate (MPH or Ritalin) modifies behavioral performance are poorly understood. The authors show that MPH increased learning-induced strengthening of connections between the cortex and amygdala. This modulation was dependent on specific dopamine receptor subtypes.
