Description
This study analyzed methylphenidate (5 mg/kg; trade name: Ritalin) conditioned place preference (CPP) in adolescent male and female rats. Results showed MPH-induced CPP in males, but not in females. These results suggest rewarding properties of MPH may be more prominent in males as compared to females in adolescence.
