abstract = {Recent pharmacoepidemiologic studies suggest that
pharmacological neuroenhancement (pNE) and mood enhancement
are globally expanding phenomena with distinctly different
regional characteristics. Sociocultural and regulatory
aspects, as well as health policies, play a central role in
addition to medical care and prescription practices. The
users mainly display self-involved motivations related to
cognitive enhancement, emotional stability, and adaptivity.
Natural stimulants, as well as drugs, represent substance
abuse groups. The latter comprise purines, methylxanthines,
phenylethylamines, modafinil, nootropics, antidepressants
but also benzodiazepines, β-adrenoceptor antagonists, and
cannabis. Predominant pharmacodynamic target structures of
these substances are the noradrenergic/dopaminergic and
cholinergic receptor/transporter systems. Further targets
comprise adenosine, serotonin, and glutamate receptors.
Meta-analyses of randomized-controlled studies in healthy
individuals show no or very limited verifiability of
positive effects of pNE on attention, vigilance, learning,
and memory. Only some members of the substance abuse groups,
i.e., phenylethylamines and modafinil, display positive
effects on attention and vigilance that are comparable to
caffeinated drinks. However, the development of new
antidementia drugs will increase the availability and the
potential abuse of pNE. Social education, restrictive
regulatory measures, and consistent medical prescription
practices are essential to restrict the phenomenon of
neuroenhancement with its social, medical, and ethical
implications. This review provides a comprehensive overview
of the highly dynamic field of pharmacological
neuroenhancement and elaborates the dramatic challenges for
the medical, sociocultural, and ethical fundaments of
society.},
