Question

​what is the rationale for using stimulants to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (adhd)?

a. ​they direct brain activity away from areas responsible for poor impulse control.
b. ​they increase cortical thickness with prolonged usage.
c. ​they initiate neuronal proliferation in the hippocampus.
d. ​they increase the activity of brain regions responsible for planned behavior.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is D. they increase the activity of brain regions responsible for planned behavior.

stimulants produce more activity in parts of the brain such as the basal ganglia, frontal lobe, and thoughtful thought. This increase the likelihood for a person focusing all of his/her brain activity to one single goals and become more productive throughout the day,
