Clinical observations suggest that ADHD treatments are affected by sex differences.

Here, @TheErinCalipari @TheCalipariLab & team @VUmedicine use an integrated approach in mice, spanning behavioral, molecular, protein, and functional analysis, reporting biological sex and ovarian hormones shape responses to stimulant medications by altering dopamine signaling.

.@TheErinCalipari’s (@VUBasicSciences) #MyWHY story shows how NIH funding supports research addressing addiction, a leading cause of death with no cure. We join @UMR4NIH to #keepNIHstrong.
@TheErinCalipari says her #MyWHY is: “because drug addiction is one of the biggest economic problems in our country. It kills more people than any other disease every year, and there is no cure for it.”
@NIH funding supports her work on dopamine, trains scientists, and lays the foundation for groundbreaking treatments.

The best thing about twitter is that "Calipari" is almost always trending in sports for me. At any time I can just click it and see a list of tweets complaining about how bad my dad (a hall of fame coach) is at his job. A good reminder to do what you do for you and not others.
