1992 Dodge Ram Wagon B350 Q&A
1992 Dodge Ram Wagon B350 Question: runs fine, then when it warms up it dies, no spark.
my mechanic has replaced computer 3xs, new distributor, replaced ASD twice. when it runs its the best its been in years, but dies. 70,000miles on van, very low mileage. he is at his wits end and suggestions on a new way to look at or check something different. any help would be appreciated.2 - big daddyo
Answer 1
Your Mechanic has over looked the Crankshaft position sensor. This sensor, when failing will usually fail when hot. Without this sensor input to the PCM, your ASD relay will not energize and the vehicle will not start because there will be no voltage supplied to the ignition system or fuel injectors. Also, sensor wiring is critical. This applies to all sensors in the fuel management system. Also, if the distributor has been replaced, it MUST be syncronized with the Crank position sensor. The pickup plate in the distributor is a Camshaft position sensor. You cannot adjust the timing by turning the distributor. - Johnny Mopar

âÃâ¬ÃÅPeople usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don't even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child -- our own two eyes. All is a miracle.âÃâ¬Ã (Thich Nhat Hanh)
"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." Mark Twain
Everything you do in you life will be very insignificant, but it is very important that you do it. (Ghandi)

Hosting and Surfing
I have had quite a few memorable experiences for which I am truly thankful.
I love keeping myself fit and healthy, happy and satisfied!
Love learning languages (working really hard on my German and Spanish right now), being active in all ways possible!
Love salsa (basically all arts of booty shaking, the so called dancing) and sport!
I love eating good food, but I am not good at cooking it! Luckily, this is my flatmate's passion...
I am currently exploring/rediscovering Europe bit by bit, but would love to go to South America (again), South-East Asia and Australia, where you can experience cultures so distant from ours (or maybe not so much). These are also places of great natural richness and diversity, where you can immerse yourself completely...
Music: indie rock, indie pop, house, some rock classics but basically anything that strkes a chord...
Movies: there are just so many...
Anything directed by Scorsese, Coen brothers, Almodovar, Ang Lee, Sean Penn, Clint Eastwood
Books: at the moment I am the ultimate blog junkie: I would read any interesting piece on the internet on travelling, healthy cooking and eating, sport, dance, art, fashion and health and sustainability issues.
Flew over the Mediterranean from Marocco to Italy in an old shabby plane with only two other passengers in the worst storm of my life. The members of the very polite Austrian crew were trying to reassure us everything was under control, but we could see them secretly cross themselves and pray in the cockpit. I have to admit I didn't have time to feel scared, because I was too busy enjoying the experience.
We are always mature until someone pulls out the bubble wrap.
Simplicity is the key to successful living.
Life is either a great adventure or nothing.
If you always try to get to the top, you won't get to the bottom of anything.
Sometimes we don't know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

There's a lot to say. I'm big on honesty so here it goes. I don't claim to have everything figured out yet, I don't think anyone can really say that, what I can claim is what I know to be true about me. I'm a people pleaser, helping others through a break up or even helping them decide what ice cream flavor brings me a lot of happiness. I'm pretty easy going, nice, and goofy. A'm I the only one who still uses "that's what she said"? I'm pretty active, I ride my bike to and from work (I'm a dog walker), and I work out 3 or 4 times a week. I'm always down to try new things. What I seek in a companion is compassion and honesty, someone who is easy going and isn't afraid to share in my mild to moderate dorkiness. Someone who wants to introduce and even try new things with me and is very open minded. Someone with the looks and a heart of gold, but perfection is overrated. Take a chance, hit me up if your interested, I don't bite.

Hang with friends, workout, read, bike, hike, movies, going out to eat, making some good coffee, bonfires, go to the beach, explore the city, try new things, go to concerts, pretty much anything people my age do I suppose haha.

text: So I have 2,000 people in my system now, some arriving as imports from other workers. I have a problem with "places": There are *many* duplicate names and variants. Trying to be tidy (and to clarify how to add places for new events), I would prefer to merge places when possible. I know how to do it manually, but it's really tedious. You have to track down each reference to a place and redirect it to the preferred place. Is there a tool to do this properly (i.e., recursively over all references in one go)? Should there be? In another sphere of life, I am a Python programmer, so "do it yourself" might be possible. I wouldn't want to deprive anyone else of the challenge, however. ;-) By the way, after some initial mis-starts on my part, I am finding Gramps to be a very neat system -- and it runs in Python on Linux! -- Martin Ewing, AA6E Branford, CT

Marijuana law reform backers say voters careVermont Press Bureau | October 01,2012Both major party gubernatorial candidates seem to think theres political hay to harvest this fall over the issue of marijuana decriminalization. But will candidates positions on weed reform really be a deciding factor for voters in November?
Matt Simon, who oversees the politics of cannabis in Vermont for the Marijuana Policy Project, says it will.
In speaking to voters and hearing their interest in finding out where candidates stand on (decriminalization), you find out it does motivate some people, Simon said last week.
Simon admits he lacks any research evidence to back up the theory.
Its hard to find hard data to support it, he said.
Vidda Crochetta, co-founder of the Vermont-based group Marijuana Resolve, said its a real issue for tens of thousands of Vermonters, many of whom, he said, will use candidates positions on decriminalization as the basis for their voting decisions. According to Crochetta, a 2007 survey found that more than 50,000 Vermont adults smoke pot.
And because self-reporting surveys like this almost always under-report usage, the actual number is probably closer to 100,000, Crochetta said. These are people who have a vested interest in the outcome of decriminalization, and its difficult to imagine that it wont be a major factor in at least some of their voting decisions.
Eric Davis, professor emeritus of political science at Middlebury College, is less confident the issue will sway the electorate.
Support for decriminalization seems to be broadening, Davis said. But I dont see this is going to affect the outcomes of any races whatsoever.
Despite polls indicating overwhelming support for decriminalization in Vermont, Republican candidate Randy Brock seems to think his opposition to the concept is an electoral winner. In the kickoff to the gubernatorial debate season, Brock used his first question to criticize the Democratic incumbents stand on the issue.
In their second debate last week, Brock again tried to hammer Gov. Peter Shumlin on decriminalization.
I think it sends a terrible message to Vermonters, Brock said. I think it sends a terrible message to Vermont families.
Shumlin, however, has allies in his push for decriminalization from members of the Vermont GOP, including the Republican leader of the Vermont Senate, who, in a survey conducted by the Marijuana Policy Project, said he supports the replacement of criminal sanctions for small-time marijuana possession with civil fines.
Washington County Sen. Bill Doyle also told the group he supports lifting the 1,000-person cap that now limits the number of Vermonters eligible for medical marijuana cards.

State Treasurer Beth Pearce last week defended her office against allegations of mismanagement after a records request showed that one deputy director had clocked at least 1,000 hours of overtime in each of the past three years.
Deputy Director of Retirement Operations Laurie Lanphear logged 1,132 hours of overtime in fiscal year 2012 alone, boosting her base salary of $58,219 by an additional $31,684, according to records acquired by Republican challenger Wendy Wilton.
Lanphears overtime pay was nearly double the next highest recipient of overtime in the treasurers office, and Wilton seized on the number as evidence of poor oversight by the first-term Democratic incumbent.
Regardless of the reason, having an employee work 1,000 hours beyond the 2,080 work hours in any given calendar year reflects poor management, Wilton said in a written statement.
She noted that Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding earlier this year issued a government-wide memo urging department heads to keep overtime to a minimum, and that a state labor contract advises supervisors to distribute overtime as equitably as possible.
Pearces style presents undue risk and an internal control problem, Wilton said. This should be a grave concern to Vermont taxpayers and state officials.
Wilton obviously is looking to seize on the overtime controversy that continues to brew in the wake of the arrest of a former state police officer charged with juicing hours on his time card.
But in a competing release, the Pearce camp shot back, saying Lanphear was performing a full-time job while also covering for previously cut positions, thereby saving taxpayer dollars.
The Democratic incumbents campaign manager said Pearces prudent management has led the office to operate under-budget over the past two years, returning more than $500,000 to the general fund.
We call on Wendy Wilton to apologize for the false assertion against Treasurer Pearce, Emerson said. We also ask that she publicly apologize to the hardworking Vermont state employees that have gone above and beyond to perform their necessary services to our state no matter the circumstance.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER The number of Vermont children in state custody rose sharply in 2014 to record...

Lisa Trujillo01/09/155 Stars - I had to get several 14 ton deliveries of sand to fix the mud situation in my horses' paddocks. Victor set the deliveries up as practice runs for his students. The students were great from attitude to technical driving/maneuvering; it was clear that there was solid instruction going on and strong rapport between instructor and students. I recommend anyone needing job training for a good job to take a look at CDS!BigRube Kizer09/30/134 Stars - I will admit, when I 1st started off at the school, I thought it was going to be easy & I did not study much. After two days of class, I realized it was really up to me to get my CDL. Someone made a statement during class, "anyone can drive, but can you pass the CDL tests". I am not going to bad mouth the school, but I think they charge too much for the actual time spent in the classroom looking at PowerPoint slides. You have to do the work yourself, they provide all the information you need to pass the CDL but you have to study, study, study. It's that simple, don't go there thinking they will take the tests for you... I will also say that Pam did a great job training me, thanks again. I recommend the school.Jim Johnson07/25/134 Stars - CDS delivered as advertised! They give the expert instruction and coaching necessary to pass the Class A drivers test. I found the instructors and other staff to be both knowledgeable and helpful. The course is not spoon fed, they treat you as an adult and expect you do your part too! My time spent at the school was time well spent. The week following graduation, I had three job interviews resulting in three job offers. I took the one I liked best; it was nice to have a choice. Thanks CDS!S Hood-Ofstad03/04/134 Stars - I graduated in Oct 2009 from CDS.They didn't promise that I would get local work but they would try. I tired to find local but was told by all companies that I needed OTR experience. I dreaded going OTR so I put off finding local work. I didn't use my license until I was unemployed living in San Franicso. I took an OTR job w/ CR England. CR England is one of the toughest OTR companies out there.But like all OTR companies they keep you out for long periods.Now days, most local companies will take you w/ 6 months of OTR experience. CDS is a great school to get your license. I like the fact that trainers were former truck drivers. It's better to learn from someone who's been there. I stuck it out w/ CR Engalnd and got 18 months of OTR exp.Now, I'm working local for a company in Sumner,WA. I don't regret spending 18 months OTR I got to see the US and I'm still learning.I did my research before I picked a Truck school, CDS was recommended and now I'm recommending it. The reason why I didn't use my license right away was because I was a commercial fisherman so my license was a backup for when I quit fishing.Anyone who whines about how hard or how fast the training process is shouldn't be driving truck.Because driving truck can be stressful.Andrew Watt04/23/155 Stars -

convert mp3 music files to 3gp (psp) using ubuntu on ps3. ?? anyone know where to start?
May 1st, 2008, 09:10 PM
Hi, I recently downloaded a programme called Fuoco. I havn't had too much time to try it but I did manage to convert an mpeg video to 3gp and play it on my mobile. I am curious though as you say you want to convert mp3(a sound file) to 3gp which I know as a video/sound format. Anyway Fuoco appears to be able to convert several video/sound types. Look it up.
Google search "fuoco ubuntu".
Sorry just re-read your original, what's ps3, as I may have gone off half-cocked...

Chia seeds have gained as much popularity as a health food as quinoa and kale. Vanilla chia pudding from The Boo, The Bear and The Goji Berries is a tasty way to enjoy them. This nutrient rich seed that is rich is dietary fiber, calcium, phosphorus and more. You can purchase chia seeds from a health foods store or online. This vanilla chia pudding can be made ahead of time and enjoyed throughout the week as your go-to breakfast.
1/4 cup of chia seeds
1-1 1/2 cups of brazil nut milk (or another nut/seed milk of your choice)
Few drops of vanilla stevia (or alcohol free vanilla extract)
Grated zest of half an unwaxed lemon
Handful of sesame seeds
2 handfuls of blueberries
Drizzle of maple syrup or honey
Mix the chia seeds and milk in a jar with a lid (a kilner jar is perfect). Make sure the lid is on tight!
Shake well to mix. Leave the jar in the fridge for a minimum of an hour (longer is better, you could use slightly less milk, 1 cup, if leaving for under 2 hours).
A great tip is to make it before you go to bed, leave in the fridge overnight, and you'll have it ready for breakfast when you wake up!
Dress with the grated lemon zest, sesame seeds, blueberries and maple for a delicious taste sensation that you'll never get from plain old cereal!

But when we found (yes found, because it has no big signs and no glaring posters outside), it both Zohara and Anna knew of this place by "reputation", it is well known for several of its dishes. I had the roll with ham and cheese, the girls had croissants, also the hot chocolate was fine.

Orna & Ella.: Where to eat in Shinkin st.
This tiny homely place has expanded and become very popular over the years, but is still relativelly inexpensive and cozy. All dishes are well made and tasty and the places is always clean and pleasant. They have lots of light dishes, salads, Italian food, soups, and great desserts, cakes and pies.
Favorite Dish: The sweet potato pancakes ("latkes") are good. They have a VERY nice semolina gnocchi in cream sauce.

Apple rumored to be in talks to acquire German HDTV maker LoeweApple is said to be negotiating to acquire Loewe AG, a manufacturer and distributor of televisions, audio components and integrated entertainment systems, with a final decision expected to be announced by the end of this week.
Word of the negotiations was exclusively revealed to AppleInsider, and although the offer has yet to be accepted, a source claims that Loewe "has been advised by its financial advisor to accept the offer and a final decision is scheduled to be announced internally before 18 May 2012."
This person said Apple is confidentially offering 87.3 million euros (about $112 million U.S.), a slight premium over the firm's last closing share price of 4.519 euros (giving it a market cap of 58.79 million euros or $76 million U.S.). Loewe's primary shareholders currently include Sharp (28.83 percent) and LaCie (11.17 percent).
The accuracy of the information provided could not be initially verified, but AppleInsider has shared it in the interest of discussion, particularly as rumors continue to swirl that Apple is preparing to launch its own full-fledge high-definition television set.
Loewe, which entered the TV market in 1929, now employes around 1,000 workers worldwide in 50 countries, although it has worked to keep the production of its premium, minimalist TV sets in "made in Germany" despite difficult economic conditions.
The company has seen its sales fall by 11 percent over the last year, generating a loss of 10.5 million Euro ($13.57 million USD) in 2011. However, the company has reported a resurgence in market growth due to its premium products.
In addition to building HDTVs, a market Apple has been rumored to be interested in entering, the company has also designed a high end AirSpeaker to work with Apple's wireless AirPlay audio distribution technology, builds SoundBox and other audio devices with iPod dock connectors and has created the Loewe Assist Media iPad app, which the company says "transforms the iPad into a luxury remote control. Station selection, EPG, archival recording and smart TV functions have never been so easy."

The authentic spin on Milwaukee's DJ and hip-hop scene
Oddisee live this Saturday at Mad Planet
Prolific rapper/producer Oddisee will be making a pit stop in Milwaukee this Saturday. I'm pretty excited since I've been following his career for some years now. The DMV artists name has been mentioned in the same breath as heavy weights like Madlib and J Dilla. He's kind of a big deal.
Oddisee will be in Milwaukee this Saturday in correlation with the release of his new album The Beauty In All, which is a follow up to his critically acclaimed Rock Creek Park. He also released a bonus mixtape Tangible Dream (at the same damn time) .
If you still don't know who I'm talking about, this banger should jog your memory. If it doesn't, you were obviously living in a cave last year.
Also performing that evening will be Milwaukee's own AUTOmatic, EL and the Dope Folks DJ's. Get there early as I'm sure this will be a packed show!
Here's a few more of my personal favorites to get you amped for the show.
Yeah, I know....it's fire.

Although her primary research interests involved neuroimaging studies of patients with alcohol or substance abuse problems, Nora Volkow, MD, found herself increasingly intrigued by methylphenidate, the stimulant widely prescribed for treating attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). From a pharmacological standpoint, methylphenidate is the drug that most resembles cocaine. Yet, despite the fact that methylphenidate is frequently abused, users do not become severely addicted or exhibit the desperate binges that can sometimes lead cocaine users to take the drug every half hour for days at a time.
An explanation for these intriguing observations has emerged from an innovative series of studies that Dr. Volkow has conducted during the past decade. These studies not only suggest why methylphenidate is relatively nonaddictive but have also helped shed light on why the drug improves symptoms of ADHD. Dr. Volkow, who is Associate Director of the Laboratory for Life Sciences at Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, reviewed these studies at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, as part of a symposium examining the mechanisms of stimulants in the treatment of ADHD.
Studies by Dr. Volkow and colleagues using positron emission tomography (PET) have shown that the distribution of cocaine and methylphenidate in the brain after administration is almost identical: Not only do the two drugs accumulate in the same regions, but they bind to the same molecule, the dopamine transporter. For example, in one of Dr. Volkow's studies, human volunteers with a history of cocaine abuse were given methylphenidate and, shortly thereafter, a dose of 11C-labelled cocaine. PET was unable to detect any radio-labeled cocaine in the brain, indicating that the drug's binding sites were occupied by methylphenidate. Similarly, administration of cocaine blocked the binding of a subsequent dose of radio-labeled methylphenidate.
The dopamine transporter, of course, is the molecule that binds to dopamine in the extracellular space and recycles the neurotransmitter by returning it to the neuronal terminal. But when the transporter is blocked, as it is by cocaine and methylphenidate, dopamine accumulates in the extracellular space, producing strong signals in the brain's reward centers (notably the striatum). The finding that cocaine and methylphenidate bind to the same target, reported by Dr. Volkow and colleagues in 1995, was particularly surprising given the difference in the addictive potential of the two medications. "I was very perplexed, and I didn't know what to make of this," Dr. Volkow admitted.
Because a drug's effects are influenced not just by its molecular target but also by how long it takes to reach that target, Dr. Volkow hypothesized that differences in pharmacokinetics were responsible for the divergent effects of cocaine and methylphenidate. "The temporal course—the dynamic interaction of the drug with the brain—has profound effects automating the responses to the drug," she noted. For example, intravenous injection (which gets a drug into the brain quickly) is more reinforcing than administering the same medication orally; in fact, injected caffeine produces a "high" very similar to that of cocaine.
Using PET, Dr. Volkow confirmed that cocaine does get into the brain quickly—in about five minutes—and that it is cleared rapidly as well; the drug "has basically disappeared from the brain at 40 minutes," she said. But to her surprise, uptake of intravenously administered methylphenidate proved to be nearly as fast: large amounts are already present in the brain within eight to 10 minutes. However, the psychostimulant is cleared much more slowly than cocaine is, so that substantial levels are still present 90 minutes after administration.
Methylphenidate's relatively slow clearance presented something of a conundrum, Dr. Volkow noted, because one could speculate that if blockade of the dopamine transporter is central to a drug's effects, then methylphenidate "should be more reinforcing than cocaine, because it stays there longer." To investigate the issue further, she and her colleagues collected self-reports of subjects' perceptions during the PET sessions. The findings revealed that the time course of a patient's high following cocaine administration largely mirrors the drug's pharmacokinetic properties, peaking about four to five minutes after administration and returning nearly to baseline after 20 minutes.
Somewhat surprisingly, the study participants reported a similar pattern with methylphenidate, with the high peaking, again, around five minutes after administration and largely dissipating after 20 minutes. The PET scans, however, confirmed that the drug continued to block the dopamine transporter, indicating that the presence or length of dopamine transporter blockade is not the essential variable for reinforcement. Instead, Dr. Volkow said, what seems to matter is the rate at which blockade occurs. Thus, it is the rush of dopamine blockade following injection of cocaine or methylphenidate that produces the high, whereas the subsequent period of continued binding and clearance (whether slow, as with methylphenidate, or fast, as with cocaine) has little impact on the perception of pleasure.
However, methylphenidate's slow clearance may protect against abuse of the drug. Because cocaine is rapidly removed from the brain, dopamine transporters are soon free to bind to another dose of cocaine, allowing users to experience another high in as little as 20 to 30 minutes; this sets up the potential for binges lasting hours or even days. But because methylphenidate continues to block dopamine transporters after the high dissipates, potential abusers who take another dose 60 or even 90 minutes later do not experience the desired effect. "Slow clearance interferes with repeated, frequent administration," Dr. Volkow stated.
Another factor that may come into play is a drug's potency—in this case, the level of dopamine transporter occupancy required to produce a high. Although Dr. Volkow's search of the animal literature revealed hundreds of papers examining cocaine's ability to block the dopamine transporter, none of the studies had determined the occupancy rate necessary to produce a high; moreover, the speculative estimates offered by some authors varied 20-fold. The methylphenidate literature on the topic was similarly unenlightening.
Dr. Volkow and colleagues proceeded to explore this issue by using a radioactive compound that binds to the dopamine receptor. By varying the dose of the compound—as well as subsequent doses of cocaine or methylphenidate—one can calculate how many dopamine transporters are occupied by either drug and whether occupancy rates predict the presence and intensity of a high. The findings revealed that, with intravenous cocaine, an occupancy rate of at least 50% is necessary to produce a high; this level of blockade corresponds to a dose of about 0.13 mg/kg. (Abusers tend to use 0.3 to 0.6 mg/kg, a dose easily sufficient to produce a high.) Subjects with the highest transporter occupancy had the most intense highs.
Repeating the experiment with methylphenidate yielded a somewhat different picture, however. A 50% occupancy rate could be achieved with a dose of about 0.07 mg/kg, "so, if anything, methylphenidate is slightly more effective than cocaine at blocking these transporters," Dr. Volkow noted. Yet the correlation between occupancy and the experience of a high, though still statistically significant, was not as strong as that for cocaine; in fact, one subject who achieved 80% blockade reported having no high at all. Thus, with methylphenidate, a blockade of at least 50% to 60%, though required for a high, is not necessarily sufficient.
The existence of such outliers, Dr. Volkow said, further suggests that the intensity of a high is influenced more by the amount of extracellular dopamine present than by the transporter occupancy rate per se. Though the concentration of extracellular dopamine is obviously influenced by the degree of dopamine transporter blockade, release of new dopamine is important as well. Thus, individual physiology comes into play. At certain levels of transporter blockade, individuals with low dopamine tone may fail to experience a high, whereas others whose dopaminergic neurons are more active may feel the desired effect.
This idea was supported by a PET study in which Dr. Volkow and colleagues gave subjects radio-labeled raclopride, another ligand that binds to dopamine receptors. When study participants were given methylphenidate injections, extracellular dopamine accumulated (because dopamine transporters were blocked) and became bound to dopamine receptors, preventing raclopride from binding. The difference in raclopride binding between patients given methylphenidate and those who were drug-free or who received low doses provided a rough measure of how the drug affects extracellular dopamine levels.
The researchers found that the level of extracellular dopamine was a "much better predictor of the intensity of the high" than was the degree of dopamine blockade. Indeed, a methylphenidate dose of 0.5 mg/kg—not an inconsequential amount—failed both to produce a high and to change extracellular dopamine levels in some participants. Overall, changes in extracellular dopamine levels accounted for 61% of the variance in the intensity of the high that patients experienced, whereas dopamine transporter occupancy accounted for only 22% of the variance.
Although most of the above studies used methylphenidate injections, the principles elucidated apply as well to the oral form of the medication that is used clinically. It turns out that the oral form, like its intravenously administered counterpart, is effective at blocking the dopamine transporter: Commonly used doses such as 0.5 mg/kg block approximately half of dopamine transporter molecules (nearly the same level of blockade one sees with injected cocaine).
Yet, in a study that Dr. Volkow conducted with normal volunteers, only one patient reported feeling high when receiving oral methylphenidate. The explanation, she said, again comes down to pharmacokinetics: "When you give oral methylphenidate, it takes 'forever' to reach peak concentrations in the brain"—more precisely, about one to two hours. Because the rate of uptake, rather than of dopamine transporter occupancy, is the key factor for the perception of a high, the oral form is not reinforcing. (Of course, abusers sometimes crush the tablets and snort the powder, which would accelerate uptake.)
Although one might assume from the research described above that methylphenidate improves function by increasing a patient's level of extracellular dopamine, until recently the evidence supporting this hypothesis was scant—and came exclusively from studies involving very high doses of injected medication. But in a report published last year in the
Journal of Neuroscience,
Dr. Volkow and colleagues reported perhaps the best evidence to date that therapeutic doses of oral methylphenidate do indeed increase extracellular dopamine. The study, conducted in 11 healthy adults, revealed that methylphenidate (mean dose, 0.8 mg/kg) decreased striatal dopamine D2
receptor availability by 20%, a sign of increased dopamine. The extra dopamine may be particularly crucial to patients with ADHD: recent studies by two laboratories have found that adult patients with ADHD have a greater dopamine transporter density than do healthy controls. Because elevated transporter density should reduce levels of extracellular dopamine, the result is a weakening of relevant signals; as Dr. Volkow noted, the neurotransmitter wouldn't have enough time to exert its effects, which include increasing the signal-to-noise ratio for target neurons. By making more extracellular dopamine available, methylphenidate in effect amplifies these weak signals, improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
All of this translates to the desired therapeutic effect because the dopamine system isn't simply a reward circuit (as it is often portrayed to be). It's also possible, Dr. Volkow said, to conceptualize dopamine as something that "makes a stimulus more attractive, more salient." Thus, a previously "boring" homework assignment seems more appealing—and gets finished.
