Cognitive enhancers, also called "smart drugs," are things people take to help them think better. They can boost memory, attention, and motivation.

Benefits:

• People who use these drugs may see their focus improve by up to 30%.
• They might also do better in school, with grades going up by 15-20%.

Drawbacks:

• Some users, about 10-20%, may experience side effects.
• We don’t know much about the long-term effects, and around 50% of users say they can’t stop using these stimulants.

With these points in mind, it’s important to think carefully before deciding to use cognitive enhancers.
