title: [Neurochemical origin of the drug psychostimulation: an outlook at a problem a quarter of a century later].
abstract: Recent achievements in the molecular psychopharmacology led to a breakthrough in our understanding of the neurochemical mechanism of action of psychomotor stimulants. The specific activity of amphetamine-like compounds is probably related both to the modulation of monoaminergic transmission and to the conjugated mechanisms involving neuromediator amino acids, "early" genes, and a number of other factors.
