This is a very cute story about the DA system. I was getting anxious (because it's getting way past my bedtime) about finding a simplified but to the point way to reviewing the DA system for my students. Then I saw Chris' Dopamine for dummies and then your post! Now my memory about DA is refreshed and I'll point the students to these two posts for the fun part, too. Thanks. Ha ha ha.

Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors also help some people. I'm not sure exactly how NE works for this but I think it helps with focus somehow. This later class of drugs that work on the NE system has the issue that with some people it seems to work great for a while then just stop working. Non drug wise, there is some successful work with using brain feedback devices to help train people to focus.
