Speed in the brain

Speed (amphetamine) has an energising effect on both body and mind. An intensified release of the neurotransmitters dopamine and noradrenaline (norepinephrine) forms the basis of speed’s effects. Dopamine and noradrenaline are both involved in transporting information between neurons, or nerve cells.
