Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Stimulants used for ADHD treatment, such as methylphenidate and amphetamines, work by increasing the activity of neurotransmitters like dopamine and noradrenaline in the brain. This increase in neurotransmitter activity helps to improve attention span and cognitive function in individuals with ADHD, contrary to degrading academic performance or not promoting the activity of these neurotransmitters.
