Thanks for your interest in our work. In fact regarding the brain it makes sense the use of stimulants for this neurological disorders. In particular methylphenidate, that is used to treat ADHD, has been given more attention for stroke or TBI.

I don't see how it particularly makes sense.
Stims can be a symptomatic palliative in some TBIs.
But adrenaline should be a brain vasoconstrictor which is iirc contra indicated contrary to e.g. gingko biloba or vimpocetine.
Adrenergy is one of the most well known cardiotoxin. Dopamine is neurotoxic

2) to be clear:
stimulants can be useful as a palliative and as a neuroprotective.
It might even cause some neurogenesis but it should never the less be cardiotoxic and moderately neurotoxic

3) as a nootropic not as a neuroprotectant* made a typo

I understand your concerns regarding the cardiovascular adverse effects, which no doubt should be given attention. The clinical trails did not show that adverse effects under control doses and settings were a problem. They did reveal mixed results, some improved others detailed no improvement.
