Methylphenidate: ADHD drug curbs impulsivity in men only, linked to brain wiring differences
Researchers found that methylphenidate lowers impulsive choice behavior in men but not women. The effect was associated with the structural integrity of specific white matter tracts in the brain, highlighting potential sex-based differences in drug response.
Study on 2.2 million people reveals that genes related to impulse control significantly influence addiction risk, suggesting that individual vulnerability is more due to brain wiring rather than specific substances

Genes Tied to Impulse Control Play a Major Role in Addiction Risk
Most of the genetic risk for developing a substance use disorder comes from genes that broadly affect how our brains process rewards, regulate impulses and weigh consequences – not from genes that specifically influence substance use disorder or any single…
