Description
Methylphenidate (trade name: Ritalin) resulted in a conditioned place preference, but in contrast to work in juveniles, there were no sex differences. In addition, methylphenidate produced a significant decrease in the dopamine transporter compared to controls that may have implications towards development and plasticity of the dopamine system.
