Abstract
Cognitive enhancing drugs improve the quality of life for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders and brain injury. However, off-label use of these ‘smart drugs’ is becoming increasingly commonplace as the public becomes aware of substances that can help one study longer or work more effectively. Professor Barbara Sahakian invites you to learn more and participate in a lively debate on whether we should enhance cognition in healthy people.
