Presented at Notacon 6 by

As a result of the constant high stressed, sleep-deprived, and malnourished state of being that the majority of us live in, smart drugs are considered a normal part of life. Wake up, grab a Monster on your way to the office and then pop out for a smoke when your head feels like it is about to explode in order to help you relax and refocus. Our presentation will give an overview of what parts of your brain controls various cognitive functions, stressors that effect these functions, the more popular smart drugs that are currently available, which cognitive functions they affect, and the short and long term effects that are associated with each. At the end of the presentation, we'll have caffeinated pixi sticks for members of the audience to take with them.
