OverviewAI-generated summary
X. Zhang's research focuses on the neurochemical effects of methylphenidate, a medication often prescribed for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Zhang has investigated the long-term impacts of this drug on the brains of nonhuman primates, utilizing positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging techniques to assess changes in neurotransmitter systems, specifically dopamine. Their work has explored the consequences of discontinuing methylphenidate after prolonged exposure, contributing to an understanding of potential withdrawal effects and long-term brain function following cessation of treatment. Zhang's research is supported by collaborations with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Zhang has authored 12 publications with a total of 218 citations and an h-index of 5.
