Abstract


Hypothesis Chronic methylphenidate abuse or administration causes oxidative stress, inflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction in brain cells that require therapeutic approaches to inhibit neurotoxicity and neurodegeneration of these types.[1,2] Nonetheless, the function of methylphenidate in the induction of neurodegeneration or neuroprotection is uncertain, but most of the data support the function of methylphenidate in neurodegeneration.
