Popis:	This study analyzed locomotor sensitization to methylphenidate (MPH, Trade name: Ritalin) in adolescent male and female rats. Females, but not males, demonstrated locomotor sensitization. Interestingly, females given MPH demonstrated a significant decrease of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the striatum, whereas males demonstrated an increase in this same brain area.
