Benefits and Harms of 'Smart Drugs' (Nootropics) in Healthy Individuals

Fabrizio Schifano et al.

Summary: This paper provides an overview on the prevalence, benefits, and potential harms of using "smart drugs" (also known as cognitive enhancers) in healthy individuals. It highlights the uncertainty of their efficacy in non-impaired brains and the potential complications they may cause. The use of cognitive enhancers can lead to short- and long-term cognitive decline, decreased plastic learning potential, and addictive behavior. The non-medical use of these drugs raises serious ethical and legal concerns, and it has the potential to become a major public health issue.

Modafinil acquires reinforcing effects when combined with citalopram

Jesus E. Yepez et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the psychostimulant effects of combining MOD with CIT and its effects on self-administration. The results showed that serotonergic activity enhances the psychostimulant effects of modafinil, and co-administration of the drugs may increase the self-administration of the mixture.

Effects of modafinil on electroencephalographic microstates in healthy adults

Samantha R. Linton et al.

Summary: This study found that Modafinil increased the proportion and occurrence of microstate C, while decreasing the proportion and occurrence of microstate A and B. However, these Modafinil-related changes in microstate parameters were not associated with similar changes in flanker ERPs or behavior. Thus, Modafinil may deactivate large-scale sensory networks in favor of a higher order functional network during resting-state in healthy adults.

Nicotine abolishes memory-related synaptic strengthening and promotes synaptic depression in the neurogenic dentate gyrus of miR-132/212 knockout mice

Tamara Stojanovic et al.

Summary: miRNAs are evolutionarily conserved molecules that regulate gene expression, playing a critical role in cholinergic signaling and neuroplasticity in the nervous system. Deletion of the miR-132/212 gene significantly alters protein levels and synaptic transmission upon nicotine stimulation, highlighting the importance of miRNA/nicotinergic signaling interplay in drug addiction and memory functions.

Summary: This study reported the clinical, AV-133 PET, AV-45 PET, and neuropathological findings of three dementia patients. PET imaging using AV-133 for evaluating striatal VMAT2 density may distinguish between AD and DLB, but may miss some cases of DLB with less pronounced nigrostriatal dopaminergic neuronal loss.

Cellular Senescence in Brain Aging

Ewa Sikora et al.

Summary: Aging of the brain can result in memory and cognitive decline, often coinciding with changes in the structural plasticity of dendritic spines. Decreased number and maturity of spines in aged individuals, along with alterations in synaptic transmission, may reflect impaired brain functions. The involvement of cellular senescence in brain aging is being increasingly explored, with evidence suggesting a potential role in the aging process similar to other organs.

In vivo human molecular neuroimaging of dopaminergic vulnerability along the Alzheimer's disease phases

Arianna Sala et al.

Summary: The study found significant reductions in [123I]FP-CIT binding in both AD-MCI and AD-D patients compared to controls, particularly in the major targets of the ventrotegmental-mesocorticolimbic pathway. Molecular connectivity assessment revealed a widespread loss of inter-connections among subcortical and cortical targets of the mesocorticolimbic network only, highlighting potential therapeutic strategies for AD.

Dopamine Transporter Is a Master Regulator of Dopaminergic Neural Network Connectivity

Douglas R. Miller et al.

Summary: The dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNC) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) exhibit regional differences in network connectivity, with a higher incidence of hub-like neurons in the VTA compared to the SNC. Neuronal loss in the SNC increases network clustering, whereas the VTA compensates by decreasing network clustering due to a larger number of hub-neurons. Network properties in these dopaminergic brain regions can be regulated via a dopamine transporter mechanism, demonstrating novel regulatory mechanisms of functional network topology.

The Importance of Ventral Hippocampal Dopamine and Norepinephrine in Recognition Memory

Joep Titulaer et al.

Summary: The study suggests that increased release of dopamine and norepinephrine in the rat ventral hippocampus plays a crucial role in recognition memory and signaling novelty. In a novel object recognition test, rats' responses to a new object led to increased dopamine and norepinephrine release in the ventral hippocampus, potentially aiding in the formation of long-term memory.

On demand therapy for Parkinson's disease patients: Opportunities and choices

Robert A. Hauser et al.

Summary: Levodopa is the most effective symptomatic treatment for Parkinson's disease, but many patients experience intermittent OFF periods where symptoms return. These periods are largely due to shortened clinical benefit from oral levodopa, as well as impaired absorption and other factors. On-demand therapies have expanded to address these OFF periods, providing rapid and reliable relief as alternatives to traditional medication regimens.

Summary: Anhedonia, a core symptom of major depressive disorder, extends beyond impaired consummatory pleasure to deficits in various functions, with dopamine and other neurotransmitters playing key roles. While extensive research has explored reward anticipation and outcome, there are translational gaps in understanding reward motivation, effort, valuation, and learning.

Psychostimulant Use Disorder, an Unmet Therapeutic Goal: Can Modafinil Narrow the Gap?

Melinda Hersey et al.

Summary: The rapid increase in individuals affected by psychostimulant use disorder (PSUD) has highlighted the potential of Modafinil (MOD) as a therapeutic option due to its non-addictive properties, despite its similar mechanism of action to commonly abused psychostimulants on the dopamine transporter (DAT). Clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of MOD in treating symptoms related to PSUD and other psychiatric disorders involving alterations of brain dopamine systems.
