Summary
This study looked at whether a single dose of methylphenidate (Ritalin) changes how people with both ADHD and alcohol use disorder respond to alcohol-related cues. Thirty-one adults aged 18-25 completed brain scans, EEG, and behavioral tests after taking either the drug or a placebo. The goal was to understand if the medication alters attention and cravings, not to treat the condition.
