Do smart drugs which report to enhance concentration, focus and brain power actually work? Who is using them and why? Is using a cognitive enhancer during an exam cheating? Are they safe?

This month's episode does a deep dive into the fascinating world of smart drugs, otherwise known as nootropics or cognitive enhancers. We chat with Dr Eleanor Dommett, Reader of Neuroscience at King's College London about use of these drugs within the university population and beyond, as well as exploring the ethics of using such substances to gain a competitive advantage.
