from It’s just AuDHD Hosted by John Blanco-Slingerland, Tarah Peltz

Amy Arnsten is a powerhouse in the world of neuroscience. She's a professor at Yale, she runs her own lab (aptly called the Arnsten Lab), and she's responsible for discovering guanfacine. This medication is an absolute gamechanger for rejection sensitivity and working memory for everyone with ADHD. We were lucky enough to chat with her and ask all our most burning brain related questions. In this episode, you can expect a lot of mythbusting as Amy corrects the record on common ADHD tropes that don't stand up to scrutiny when you're an internationally recognized expert on neuroscience.
