Effects of Stimulants on Brain Function in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the fMRI findings of acute stimulant effects on ADHD brain function showed that stimulants most consistently enhanced right IFC/insula activation, which remained for a subgroup analysis of methylphenidate effects alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-Analysis of fMRI Studies of Disruptive Behavior Disorders

Journal ArticleDOI
