In this episode, Erica and Darius explore the topic of medication as a supportive tool for enhancing executive functions such as inhibitory control, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. With special focus on ADHD, dyslexia, and other conditions that influence executive skills, they explore:

• The role of stimulant medications like Methylphenidate (Ritalin, Concerta) and Amphetamines (Adderall, Vyvanse) in optimizing neurotransmitter levels for better focus and impulse control.
• Alternative non-stimulant options, such as Atomoxetine (Strattera) and Guanfacine (Intuniv), and how they may be suitable for those who don't respond well to stimulants.
• Potential roles of supplements and dietary changes in enhancing cognitive functioning.

Remember, medication is not a one-size-fits-all solution and should always be considered after exploring other options and as part of a broader treatment plan. Consult your healthcare provider to tailor the best course of action for you or your loved ones.

In this episode, we explore the ways in which AI software, specifically ChatGPT, is having a great impact on education, the workplace, and our everyday lives. We delve into the specific ways in which ChatGPT is able to assist individuals with executive function issues, such as providing reminders and prompts, assisting with decision-making, and helping to manage time and tasks. We also discuss how AI is being used to support individuals with other learning difficulties, such as dyslexia and ADHD.

We also look toward the future and explore how AI technology is likely to evolve in the coming years. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of AI and cognitive function, and the potential for technology to support those with learning difficulties.
