This is a great article, I like how it covers the many aspects of alertness. It demonstrates great arguments in the aspect of alertness. For example, someone who is having issues might look for ways to increase drug use by looking into drugs. I observed that the intro is not as clear for readers to understand. The last paragraph is very short I would add more to it or leave that paragraph out.Adassa.saintus (talk) 00:39, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

"Drugs used to improve alertness" section is far too suggestive and is clearly written by someone who browses nootropics forums
This isn't an ad hominem to the author and I don't believe being interested in those things disqualifies someone from writing an article provided they are able to keep their biases at bay. However, this author clearly does not. Prior to my edits, this section featured various unsubstantiated claims and random shoe horning of obscure and relatively unresearched (or in the case of bromantane, completely unreplicated outside of Russia) compounds. Nicotine is a widely used stimulant that improves alertness. I have no clue why "dynamine" (the author opted to include this brand name when referring to the compound, for whatever reason) is mentioned in this section but nicotine is not.

I've bookmarked this page and I will work on these corrections when I have time. Calling on anyone else remotely interested in this topic to help do the same. Oro Temp (talk) 02:22, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Neurobiological pathways
I changed the section head from biological pathways to Neurobiological pathways to be more specific on what is being discussed. I have also added a handful of edits to further explain and clarify what is happening. Lastly, I added some links to other wiki pages for others doing any further research on the matter. If someone would be willing to look over that and review it for any additional modifications that would be appreciated. GardenVarietyChef (talk) 19:43, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
