Stimulants such as caffeine, amphetamines, and methylphenidate are known for their ability to increase activity in certain areas of the brain, resulting in increased concentration and wakefulness. Antipsychotic drugs, hypnotics, and barbiturates work differently and do not have the same effect on brain activity.
