Improves Cognition

Studies show that this cognitive enhancer can safely and effectively improve various areas of cognitive function:
1. In patients with multiple sclerosis, modafinil treatment improved delayed memory and working memory on a list-learning task. [67-69]
2. In patients with obstructive sleep apnea, modafinil improved performance on a test of behavioral alertness and reduced functional impairments. [70]
3. In sleep-deprived patients, modafinil reversed the debilitating mood and cognitive effects of sleep loss. [71]
4. In patients with residual late-day sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, administration of modafinil at midday significantly improved executive function. [72]
5. In healthy volunteers without sleep deprivation, 200 mg of modafinil significantly reduced error rates in several difficult performance tasks. [73]
6. In healthy volunteers, modafinil administration at a dose of 100 mg/day for 7 days enhanced the efficiency of brain regions involved in cognitive information processing. [74]
7. In young adult male volunteers, a single oral dose of modafinil significantly enhanced performance in a series of tests assessing visual pattern recognition memory. [75]
8. In non-sleep deprived healthy volunteers, modafinil significantly improved performance on several cognitive tests of planning and working memory. [76-77]
9. In healthy volunteers, single oral dose of modafinil enhanced visual short-term memory storage capacity. [78]
10. In healthy non-smoking volunteers, modafinil administration at a dose of 200 mg improved cognitive task of attention switching. [79]
11. In sleep-deprived individuals, modafinil improved attention, wakefulness, memory, and executive functions to a significantly higher degree. [80]
12. In patients with schizophrenia, modafinil improved symptoms, attention, working memory, executive functioning, and emotions. [81-85]
13. In healthy volunteers, modafinil administration at a dose of 300 mg daily improved cognitive and physiological functions. [86]
14. In people with a first episode of psychosis, a single dose of 200 mg modafinil significantly improved the analysis of emotional face expressions. [87]
15. In healthy participants, modafinil administration at a dose of 400 mg significantly improved judgments of simple and complex emotional expressions following sleep deprivation. [88]
16. In multiple cell studies, modafinil prevented programmed cell death and enhanced the communication between neurons (nerve cells). [89-94]
