How do stimulants affect the brain and body?

Stimulants, such as dextroamphetamine and methylphenidate, have chemical structures similar to a family of key brain neurotransmitters called monoamines, which include norepinephrine and dopamine. Stimulants also increase blood pressure and heart rate, constrict blood vessels, increase blood glucose, and open up the pathways of the respiratory system.
