Abstract

Apathy, one of the most prevalent neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer's Disease (AD), contributes significantly to further decline in cognition and function. Emerging evidence supports the use of methylphenidate (MPH) for the treatment of apathy. However, psychostimulants, which increase central dopamine concentrations, are known to play a role in modulating attention and reward salience. The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of MPH on attention and the relationship between MPH effects on apathy and attention.
