Methylphenidate enhances brain activation and deactivation responses to visual attention and working memory tasks in healthy controls
2011
NeuroImage
Here, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used together with working memory (WM) and visual attention (VA) tasks to test the hypothesis that 20 mg oral MPH would increase activation in the ...
Methylphenidate (MPH) is a stimulant drug that amplifies dopamineric and noradrenergic signaling in the brain, which is believed to underlie its cognition enhancing effects. ...

A neurochemical yin and yang: does serotonin activate and norepinephrine deactivate the prefrontal cortex?
2010
Psychopharmacology
To assess this hypothesis, three primary lines of evidence are examined comprising the effects of 5-HT and NE on impulsivity, cognitive flexibility, and working memory. ...
Results Here I examine the hypothesis that serotonin (5-HT) plays a general role in activating the PFC, whereas norepinephrine (NE) plays a general role in deactivating this brain region. ...

Pattern Classification of Working Memory Networks Reveals Differential Effects of Methylphenidate, Atomoxetine and Placebo in Healthy Volunteers
2011
Neuropsychopharmacology
We combined event-related fMRI with multivariate pattern recognition to characterize the effects of MPH and ATX in healthy volunteers performing a rewarded working memory (WM) task. ...
During rewarded trials both drugs produced the opposite effect to reward, that is, attenuating WM networks and enhancing task-related deactivations (TRDs) in regions consistent with the default mode network ...

Dopamine Transporters in Striatum Correlate with Deactivation in the Default Mode Network during Visuospatial Attention

and deactivation during a parametric visual attention task (measured with blood oxygenation level dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging) in healthy controls. ...
Thus, higher striatal DAT levels, which would result in an enhanced clearance of dopamine and hence weaker dopamine signals, would be associated to lower deactivation in the DMN during an attention task ...
To test this hypothesis we used PET and [ 11 C]cocaine to measure DAT, and BOLD-fMRI to measure brain activation during a parametric visual attention (VA) task [18] in healthy controls. ...
