Dr Gabrielle Todd from the University of South Australia's School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences has commenced a research study on ADHD medication for children and its impact on the brain.

The study will examine stimulants such as Ritalin and dexamphetamine, and how they affect parts of the brain that control movement.

The researchers are looking for 50 children (aged from 6 to 18 years), including some with ADHD who have been taking medication for more than a year, some with ADHD who are unmedicated and some who do not have the condition.
