Reply to comment by Ruca705 in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga
One thing many of us with ADHD have is the ability to switch into hyperfocus. Speaking for myself, as I got older I gained more ability to deliberately engage hyperfocus.
It’s a bit tiring, but can be very useful. I think that learning to flip that switch into hyperfocus might also be part of it.

Reply to comment by Volcic-tentacles in Exploring a new environment helps boost dopamine levels which are projected to the hippocampus, decreasing the threshold for learning.

If one uses a dopamine reuptake inhibitor, does that not increase the total amount of dopamine in the neurons and synapses?
