Cognitive enhancement is the improvement of the brain functions
and the execution of tasks in the workplace or in the day as a whole in a
smoother and proper way. The brain is a complex functioning organ that makes
everything possible for us. The CPU of the human system, if you will. As such
it is necessary that the brain should be in prime state to perform when and
where needed. For needs such as this we need means that can accelerate the cognitive
improvement of the brain. The means is right here: Nootropics.
Nootropics are cognitive enhancers that stimulate the brain
to perform better. These medications influence the hormone levels in the brain
that promote wakefulness and bring higher focus. A popular smart drug compound
is Modafinil. Modafinil has many derivative smart drugs that are very popular
among the people nowadays. Smart drugs like Provigil, Modvigil, and Modalert
are very popular as they provide the necessary improvements with minimum side
effects. Modvigil is a structurally different smart drug that helps in
cognitive enhancement and promoting wakefulness. Let us see further.
Smart Drug: Modvigil
Modvigil is a Modafinil derived smart
drug. The medication is FDA Approved and has been licensed for sale and use
in many countries including USA and UK. Modvigil is manufactured by HAB Pharma,
India. The basic working mechanism of all Modafinil based is the same. Modvigil
is no different.
Modvigil works by acting on the Orexin receptors in the
body. Orexin is responsible for arousal, wakefulness and the increase in appetite
of the individual. As the pill makes its way into the system, the medication
activates the Orexin Peptide that helps in the increase of the neurotransmitter
Dopamine. Other hormones like Norepinephrine, Histamine and Serotonin that also
help in regulating the sleep cycle and the activeness of the person. The
Dopamine in the body is inhibited from being taken up by the nerves. As such
the medication blocks the synapses of the nerves, thereby restricting the
Dopamine reuptake. This inhibition results in the accumulation of Dopamine in
the body. As such there is an excess of the neurotransmitter Dopamine in the
body, which ultimately results in accelerated wake up cycle and better focus at
work.
Modvigil
is structurally different from other smart drugs: it does not cause withdrawal symptoms
in the users who use the smart drug frequently. According to the recent
research done by the University of Oxford in 2015, Modafinil’s neuro-enhancing effects
are varied. The longer and more complex a task was, the more consistently the
drug improved the cognitive function.
Conclusion
Modvigil though does not cause any withdrawal symptoms is
ultimately a drug. As such it is of utmost priority that the ingestion of the medication
should have proper supervision and guidance on its use and its functionality. Any
user should know of the risks of an overdose
and how it can be controlled. Cognitive enhancers as such may be an easy way to
get ‘high’, but in the long run, the effects can dire.
