The idea that the clinical effects of stimulants are mediated by the ability of small increases in extracellular dopamine to produce a net decrease in phasic catecholamine release by the selective activation of dopamine autoreceptors is supported by studies showing reduction in behavioural activity levels in children with ADHD following low doses of dopamine agonists and from neurocomputational.
“The idea that the clinical effects of stimulants are mediated by the ability of small increases in extracellular dopamine to produce a net decrease in phasic catecholamine release by the selective activation of dopamine autoreceptors (following an increase in tonic dopamine levels) (Solanto, 1984, 1998; Seeman and Madras, 1998) is supported by studies showing reduction in behavioural activity”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
