Excerpts:     NIKOS/ZEFA/CORBIS, Morning pick-me-up: will drugs that help you
stay alert become as widely acceptable as coffee?      Today there are several
drugs on the market that improve memory, concentration, planning and reduce
impulsive behaviour and risky decision-making, and many more are being
developed. Doctors already prescribe these drugs to treat cognitive disabilities
and improve quality of life for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders and
brain injury. The prescription use of such drugs is being extended to other
conditions, including shift-workers. Meanwhile, off-label and non-prescription
use by the general public is becoming increasingly commonplace.
