  • Chronic Exposure of Rats to Cognition Enhancing Drugs Produces a Neuroplastic Response Identical to That Obtained by Complex Environment Rearing

Such observations suggest cholinesterase inhibitors to provide a disease- modifying effect as well as symptomatic relief and, moreover, that this benefit remains after drug withdrawal. Consistent with this suggestion, we now demonstrate that chronic administration of tacrine, nefiracetam, and deprenyl, drugs that augment cholinergic function, increases the basal frequency of dentate polysialylated neurons in a manner similar to the enhanced neuroplasticity achieved through complex environment rearing. While both drug-treated and complex environment reared animals continue to exhibit memory- associated activation of hippocampal polysialylated neurons, the magnitude is significantly reduced suggesting that such interventions induce a more robust memory pathway that can acquire and consolidate new information more efficiently. This hypothesis is

  • Cognitive Enhancers
    Cognitive enhancers Memory enhancers are often referred to as "smart drugs", "study drugs",[1] "smart nutrients", "cognitive enhancers", "brain enhancers" or in the scientific literature as nootropics.[2] They are drugs that are purported to improve human cognitive abilities.[3][4] The term covers a broad range of substances including drugs, nutrients and herbs with purported cognitive enhancing effects. The word nootropic was coined in 1964 by Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea, derived from the Greek words noos, or "mind," and tropein meaning "to bend/turn". Typically, nootropics are thought to work by altering the availability of the brain's supply of neurochemicals (neurotransmitters, enzymes, and hormones), by improving the brain's oxygen supply, or by stimulating nerve growth. However the efficacy of nootropic substances in most cases has not been conclusively determined. This is complicated by the difficulty of defining and quantifying cognition and intelligence.

While treating cognitive deficit symptoms in neuropsychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders using CEs might have significant benefits for patients, the increasing recreational use of these substances by healthy individuals raises many clinical, medico-legal, and ethical issues. Moreover, it has become very challenging for clinicians to Edited by: keep up-to-date with CEs currently available as comprehensive official lists do not exist.

    EVIDENCE-BASED REVIEW OF STROKE REHABILITATION (18th Edition) Robert Teasell MD1, Andreea Cotoi MSc1, Jeffrey Chow MSc1, Joshua Wiener BHSc1, Alice Iliescu BSc1, Norhayati Hussein MBBS, Norine Foley MSc, Katherine Salter PhD (cand.) 1Collaboration of Rehabilitation Research Institute, Parkwood Institute Research, Lawson Health Research Institute, St. Joseph’s Health Care London, London, Ontario Executive Summary The Stroke Rehabilitation Evidence-Based Review (SREBR) reviews techniques, therapies, devices, procedures and medications associated with stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of the Evidence-Based Review of Stroke Rehabilitation was to fulfil the 12th recommendation of The Stroke Rehabilitation Consensus Panel Report that supported the continuing review of stroke rehabilitation research with the “purpose of maintaining timely and accurate information on effective stroke rehabilitation, identifying ideas for further research, supporting continuous peer-review and encouraging improved evidence-based practice.” The aim of the SREBR was to: • Be an up-to-date review of the current evidence in stroke rehabilitation. • Provide a comprehensive and accessible review to facilitate best-practice. • Provide specific conclusion based on evidence that could be used to help direct stroke care at the bedside and at home. Since its original publication in April 2002, the SREBR has undergone eighteen major revisions and now includes articles published up to December 2016. To date, we have included over 2,300 randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Methods For the first edition of the SREBR a literature search using multiple databases (MEDLINE, EBASE, MANTIS, PASCAL, and Sci Search) was conducted to identify all potential trials published from 1970- 2001, regardless of study design. The search was restricted to the English language and excluded animal studies.
