It is orally administered and stimulates the central nervous system and the FDA approved it in 1955 ("The Parkinson List Drug Database" 2002). Doctors do not fully understand how exactly Ritalin affects the central nervous system. ... Nervousness and insomnia are the most common reactions to Ritalin. ...
The drug effects the prefrontal cortex of the brain and stimulates the body's central nervous system by making the nerve cells in the brain produce large amounts of dopamine. ... Amphetamines increase the speed of communication between the brain and the nervous system. ...

Generally, neuroscientists agree that the condition of attention deficit disorders is caused by a variation or malfunction within the neurobiological system. ... Deficits in attention occur when the central nervous system is unable to produce enough of a family of neurotransmitters called the catecholamines. Most important to the attentional system are, norepineephrine and dopamine. ...
