World’s first true “smart drug” enhances cognition

Modafinil (also sold as Provigil) may be the world’s first true smart drug, according to a new systematic review. As reported in Quartz, this drug, which is normally used to treat a sleep disorder, enhances attention, improves learning, and boosts “fluid intelligence” which we use to solve problems and think creatively. Modafinil is increasingly being used by students across US and UK universities.
