"Also, DAT transporters are *not* upregulated in ADHD".Perhaps not *all* ADHD patients but *some*?
"This is a stupid hypothesis (which is not supported by the majority of studies) based on the mechanism of action of the stimulants. Its just about as believable as the notion that serotonin transporters are elevated in depression."
LinkadgeAgreed, similar to the theory that Schizophrenia is caused by overactive dopamine systems.
