how they work at the level of neurons and brain networks and how they change those brain networks in ways that really can allow people with ADHD to be able to focus better

The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
it's designed to improve the function of those neural circuits that allow a child to focus and it's also designed to increase the strength of those circuits to effectively teach the circuits how to learn what focus is
these drugs are designed in some cases to be used and then withdrawn later because the circuits that they helped build up are functioning well
one of the reasons why drugs that are effective in treating ADHD are so effective is because they increase motivation focus and alertness and they tend to do that at very focal locations in the brain
