| Subject |
Square Wave Jerks; Reticular Activating System; Methylphenidate; Ritalin |
| Description |
We hypothesized that frequent square wave jerks might be a manifestation of decreased vigilance of the reticular activating system (RAS). Methylphenidate (Ritalin) stimulates the RAS, increasing attention, and would be expected to decrease the frequency of square wave jerks. |
