A new study published in Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews provides the first comprehensive meta-analysis of the chronic effects of medications on cognitive functions in people with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The findings suggest that two commonly prescribed medications, methylphenidate and atomoxetine, have comparable long-term benefits on executive functions such as attention, inhibition, reaction time, and working memory, with the most pronounced effects seen in improved attention.

Findings from observational studies in the past have not been consistent on the link between type 1 diabetes and epilepsy. A new meta-analysis has showed that people with type 1 diabetes have a higher incidence of epilepsy, and this association was consistent in children and adults, according to a study published in the March issue of the Journal of Diabetes Investigation.
