There is a book I was reading in which methylphenidate was studied in depression via pet scans. Apparently depression was associated with global reductions in cerebral blood flow. The brain basically just looked "dead". They did before and after scans and after the MPH the cerebral blood flow had improved substantially.
They refered to it as a "PET activator".
