There is growing debate on the use of drugs that can promote cognitive enhancement.
Amphetamine-like drugs have been employed as cognitive enhancers, but all of them have
important side effects and may induce addiction. In our study, we will investigate the use of
modafinil which, in recent years, has been proposed as cognitive enhancer. Modafinil appears
to have less side effects compared to amphetamine-like drugs and we will analyzed whether the
drug can influence cognitive performances and the brain resting state network activity of
healthy young subjects.
