Summary/Abstract: The modern generation is often called “instant”, which is characterized by the need for immediate gratification. In this reality, success depends on cognitive skills. Despite the fact that nootropic drugs, i.e. natural and synthetic substances that improve cognitive processes, such as concentration, memory, learning and motivation, are commonly used in the treatment of patients suffering from attention deficit disorder (ADHD), patients with epilepsy, after stroke of the brain or people suffering from dementia, their real “career” comes when healthy people started using these drugs, in particular students and employees of demanding professions. The article addresses the issue of nootropics drugs. The most popular neurostimulants are presented, along with a description of their action and their prevalence of use. The author also reviews the effectiveness of nootropis drugs basing on available scientific research in the subject literature. The article ends with a reflection on the future of neurostimulants.
