Researchers recently studied the effects of Modafinil on two types of memory. The other type of memory, known as context fear memory, is believe to locate in the amygdala or hippocampus. Modafinil pretraining was able to improve context fear memory, but not tone memory. Contextual memory for context fear is simple. It does not involve working memory.
Enhances executive function
Recent research shows that Modalert 200 can improve cognitive function in alcoholics. It also increases resting-state functional connectivity, which is a function that can associate with cognitive control. Franke AG and his colleagues compare modafinil’s effects on chess performance in a study. Their results were publish in Eur Neuropsychopharmacol. Similar results have report by others, including research by Rattray B, Hewitt A, and McKnight GC that examine the effects on mood and physical exertion from acute modafinil intake.
In a placebo-controlled, randomize study, 60 patients suffering from remission of depression were include. Participants’ cognitive abilities were assess using the Cambridge Neuropsychological Testing Automated Battery. These scores were significantly higher than those of the placebo group, which did not receive modafinil. This study was also double-blind and use a parallel group design. Neurocognitive test scores were the primary outcome, with secondary measures including fatigue severity and anxiety ratings.
Memory Boost
Nootropic drugs like Modaheal 200 and Modafresh 200 exist to aid people in concentrating, increasing attention, and improving their memory. These prescriptions have been used by more than 22 percent of Americans at some point. However, research on modafinil’s effects on cognitive function has been limited. Many of the studies have only focused on one dose.
These studies show that modafinil can improve working memory performance in rats and mice. It also improve psychosocial functioning, RT measures in depression patients, and performance in serial reversal discrimination tasks. Studies are continuing to see if modafinil is able to help with daily tasks. It may be the ideal drug for those who want to improve their memory and productivity.
Increases alertness
Modafinil’s wakefulness-boosting properties are not yet understood. However, they may relate to increasing histamine levels in your brain. This prevents sleepiness and improves concentration. It also inhibits dopamine reuptake which increases levels of the neurotransmitter, serotonin.
It is unknown how Modvigil improves alertness or how long the effects last. Modvigil 200 has no side effects in healthy people. A study was conduct in which 243 Singapore Air Force members took one 200-mg dose. There were no adverse drug reactions. These studies, although some are still ongoing, show Modafinil to be a safe and effective cognitive enhancement. It is important to be aware that side effects can occur.
Limits of the previous study
The authors of most articles on limitations in qualitative research explicitly or implicitly mention that the sample size is too small. The authors also mention how small sample sizes can cause problems in generalizability as well as the validity of the results. These problems are acknowledged by the authors, but they are refer to as limitations. A study such as this serves two purposes: to test a hypothesis and answer a question. A study should have a large sample size to allow for new themes.
Side effects modafinil
Modafinil’s long-term side effects have not been thoroughly study. These side effects are only experience by 1% of Modafinil users, but they should be consider a concern. It can have a negative impact on cognition and overall health if taken long-term. This question could be answer by a well-design empirical study involving tens to thousands of veteran users. A recent meta-analysis of long-term Modafinil use suggests that the risk of long-term effects is lower than that of other wakefulness-promoting drugs.
