What effects do amphetamines have?

Slowing down body functions and inducing sleep
Stimulating neural activity, speeding up body functions and causing mood changes
Acting as a depressant to calm neural activity
Triggering severe hallucinogenic experiences

The correct answer is: Stimulating neural activity, speeding up body functions and causing mood changes

Amphetamines are known to stimulate neural activity, which can lead to speeding up body functions such as heart rate and breathing. This increased neural activity can also cause changes in mood. The other options are incorrect because amphetamines do not slow down body functions or induce sleep (option A), and they do not act as a depressant to calm neural activity (option C). While amphetamines can cause some hallucinogenic effects, they are not typically classified as severe (option D).
