My med school textbook says stimulants like Ritalin treat hyperactivity by “stimulating” the brain’s attention and cognitive control systems. We studied children taking stimulants in the ABCD Study, and the largest differences were actually in arousal and reward networks! Check out our preprint!

Tremor is a common symptom across many neurological disorders.
But is there a shared tremor circuit across disorders - one that could guide treatment, regardless of diagnosis?
We think: yes.
