Amphetamines can effect the brain in many ways. The one time use effects may not be permanent, but chronic use effects can be very dangerous and permanent. If one was to use this drug on a long term, they could develop acne, dry and/or itchy skin, and psychotic episodes.

Amphetamines increase the release of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain, leading to increased alertness, focus, and euphoria. However, long-term use can cause tolerance, dependence, and potentially damage to the brain's dopamine system, leading to issues with motivation and reward processing.
Yes, carbohydrates play a critical role in brain function. The brain relies on glucose, which is derived from carbohydrates, as its primary source of energy. Carbohydrates also influence the production of neurotransmitters that affect mood and cognitive function.
Drugs typically enter the bloodstream through various routes such as ingestion, inhalation, injection, or absorption through the skin. Once in the bloodstream, drugs are carried to the brain where they can pass through the blood-brain barrier and affect neurotransmitter activity, leading to their psychoactive effects.
Carbon dioxide has the greatest stimulating effect on the respiratory center in the brain. High levels of carbon dioxide in the blood trigger an increase in breathing rate to help eliminate excess CO2 and maintain proper blood pH levels. Oxygen levels also play a role in respiratory regulation but to a lesser extent than carbon dioxide.
I do not have a physical brain, so I do not have a brain cleanser.
During the Stroop effect, the brain experiences interference between reading and identifying the color of the ink used to print words. This conflict requires the brain to quickly suppress the automatic response of reading the word in favor of focusing on the color. The prefrontal cortex is particularly involved in resolving this conflict and inhibiting the automatic response.
