Yes but it is fairly clear to us. Pretty much all drugs that enhance cognition turn on the prefrontal cortex. Criminals with little conscience lack prefrontal activity. As well, studies showing dammage to the prefrontal cortex results in impulsive behavior.
Alcohol can cause disinhibition by turning off the prefrontal cortex.
As well it has been shown that ADD'rs have abnormal PEA metabolism.
Sure, nothing is ever *sure* in water-world,
but clues do point to a certain cause. Please, by all means let another theory come allong to replace this one, but don't trash something that works.After all, ritalin worked first, then the theories about why it worked came into place.
