Which chemicals in the brain does adderal affect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Adderall action: Adderall acts upon a number of chemicals, primarily dopamine and norepinephrine. The main idea is that it helps stimulate parts of the brain that are not working up to par, specifically the frontal lobes. These changes have been documented on brain scans. I like this article which is pretty detailed but readable: http://fusion.net/story/169438/what-adderall-does-to-your-brain/
