Study looking at the neurotransmitter norepinephrine (~adrenaline basically) in ADHD people. There was a marked difference in ADHD brains in a precise location in the brain.

Explores the current method of scientific paper writing. Outlines a new idea to incorporate computers and models into presenting science to make the findings easier to consume and consolidate as a reader.
