Is This Smart Drug The Most Powerful Brain Enhancer in the World?
(CNN) Welcome To The Future— These were the opening words of Dr. Raqif who appeared on The Doctors Show to talk about a highly advanced brain supplement that is sending shock-waves through the medical community.
Major pharmaceutical companies were up in arms after The Doctors referred to it as ““Viagra for the Brian””. This ground-breaking pill is called Brain Plus IQ and many experts believe it could be the most powerful brain enhancer in the world.
It first came into the spotlight about 3 years ago when the creators of the “Limitless” movie cited BrainPlus IQ as their inspiration for the fictional drug NZT-48. Soon after, it garnered widespread use amongst students, athletes, and business executives.
Brain Plus IQ improve mental functions
Scientists confirm that the higher production of acetylcholine, caused by the regular Brain Plus IQ dose, can play a role in the improvement of our mental functions. Yet, it is widely believed that it stimulates and improves the intellectual capacity, the authors of an extensive survey of the scientific literature found no evidence for this claim. It aslo improves sleep. A dose of supplement before bedtime has resulted in improving asleep, leading to an increase in the total number of hours of sleep. It does not also disrupts sleep quality, especially the quality of the deepest stages of sleep (stages 3 and 4), which is used to regenerate.
Serotonin is an important neurotransmitter in the brain, specifically in his frontal lobe. This area is a must for depressive patients actively strengthen. Sometimes, the brain, however, fails to produce serotonin, if not at the same time present the tryptophan. Many depressed patients found improved appetite with Brain Plus IQ (low appetite we observe only a small number of depressed people). Because of its composition contains enough tryptophan.
It has in comparison with other supplements the higher content of tryptophan, although many people believe that this supplement is one of his best sources. However, there are valuable resources, such as tofu (soy cheese), which in the above list. There are the depressed persons, which are very sensitive even to small and temporary reduction in blood levels of tryptophan, which may cause a relapse of depression.

The Living Luxury Executive (Source: Mail Online)
A luxury job site is offering one lucky employee to be the chance to sample the latest luxury launches and designer clothes
Fed up of your desk-bound 9-5 job? Wish you spent your days being pampered instead? Dream of being paid to travel across the globe living the life of luxury?
Your dream could well become a reality because one luxury website has posted a job application for a lucky individual to test the luxury life, which will involve sampling the finest products and experiences that the world is launching。
According to website VeryFirstTo, which is offering the position, the Living Luxury Executive will dine at the best new restaurants, lounge in the finest hotels, dress in stunning jewels, road test the most extravagant cars, face test the most indulgent cosmetics, and play with the most sophisticated tech products。
The Living Luxury Executive will be responsible for evaluating each experience and reporting back to VeryFirstTo, a members-only luxury gift website that sells the world's finest products and dubs itself 'the first website for individuals to learn about, and have, newly launching luxury products and experiences.'
Newly launching brands that appear on VeryFirstTo and are candidates for testing include: Alexander McQueen, Apple, Bentley, Cartier, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, fine Japanese eatery Nobu and the renowned Shangri-La hotel。
Speaking about the ideal candidate, the recruiter said: 'The ideal candidate would be an early adopter, discerning, eloquent, familiar with fashion, hospitality, cuisine and technology, and have experience of the luxury market.'
Candidates must be able to 'distinguish between the roar of a Bentley and a Lexus engine, and the touch of cashmere and vicua', according to the job spec。
A spokesman for the website told the Guardian: 'We will definitely be appointing someone. It is not a stunt. As for the salary, it is negotiable and we have not set it. There will be an ongoing contract and, depending upon the salary asked for, it can be anything from four days a week to less.'
But if you're thinking of applying via the website before Friday's deadline, competition is fierce。
Despite the position never being actually advertised (information was emailed to the site's members and posted on its site)， word spread across the globe and within days 1,000 applications have been received。
Individuals have applied from a whole array of backgrounds and include a titled Lady, butler, Royal Marines Commando, Chairman of large European advertising agency, luxury magazine editor, beauty queen, senior politician and an Earl。
Besides a multitude of approaches from UK residents, VeryFirstTo has been overwhelmed by applicants around the world with many offering to relocate and others stating they would even do the job for free。
And it seems that candidates are confident in their abilities with sentiments expressed alongside applications including: 'I live in a large country estate and have an offshore trust, importing prime USDA beef from America and unpasteurised beer from Germany. I've owned and flown private jets and helicopters and stayed in top hotels。
Speaking about the much coveted role, a spokesman for the site said: 'I think It is abundantly clear that living the luxury life, especially when paid to do so, is irresistible to many from every spectrum of background and nationality。
'Luxury might only be accessible to the privileged few, but it seduces so many. Who knows, we might be able to provide someone with a very unexpected uber luxury lifestyle.'

「聰明藥」來了 迅速讓你嗨起來！
電影《藥命效應》（Limitless）中的男主角Eddie，他在服用尚處於試驗階段的藥物「NZT」之後增進智力，大腦的運作效率快速提高，漸漸變得無所不能。第二個有著相似情節的主角，則是出現在曾經引起一陣話題的電影《露西》（Lucy）。然而想要靠外力輔助，加強大腦效率走上人生巔峰，如今已經不是異想天開的白日夢了。
【現實世界的「聰明藥」】
其實目前用於治療認知類疾病（如帕金森、阿爾茲海默症、多動症等）的處方藥都可以增強患者的記憶力，使患者精神集中。利他林（Ritalin）是一種用於治療多動症的處方藥，可以促使思路敏捷、解除疲勞、振作精神，堪稱作家、科學研究人員等腦力勞動者的興奮劑。
而莫達非尼（Moda_inil），俗稱「大腦威而鋼」，原本用來治療嗜睡症或是幫助執行特殊任務的軍人集中注意力。其提神醒腦的功能使它近些年來在美國頗為流行，許多健康的人會仰賴它提高工作表現。
不過讓健康的人也服用這些藥物來提高腦力恐怕不是一個好主意。首先，撇除其合法性的討論，這些藥物對於健康的人的作用是未知的（藥物臨床測試只檢測其在病患中的作用）。其次，服用「聰明藥」並不是毫無風險的，它們可能會引發頭痛、失眠、噁心的副作用，長期服用還會帶來強烈的依賴性。
【智慧可穿戴設備變身新「聰明藥」】
你恐怕不會想到的是，近些年頗為火紅的智慧型可穿戴設備也能達到「聰明藥」的效果。2005CES（國際消費電子產品展）的獲獎作品Thync是一款號稱可以改變使用者心情、緩解用戶焦躁情緒的心情轉換器。搭配與其相聯的手機App，Thync能在5到20分鐘內改變使用者的情緒狀態。還有多種模式可以切換，從Calm（鎮靜）模式可以讓你放鬆下來快速入睡，到Energy（能量）模式可以讓你精神振奮。
那麼這塊看起來平淡無奇的白色塑膠片是如何達到咖啡因和鎮定劑的雙重效果的呢？Thync借助了經顱電流刺激（trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation ，tDCS）技術，除了可以調節情緒、緩解疼痛、提高邏輯分析能力，甚至能夠影響人們的決策能力、冒險傾向、撒謊能力。這種聽起來十分厲害的做法其實由來已久，早在兩千多年前，古羅馬醫生就曾使用電鰩魚放電來治療痛風和頭疼。
在現代醫療領域，tDCS被認為在治療焦慮、抑鬱、失眠、心理壓力上頗有前景；更有證據表明，tDCS能提高學習能力、改善注意力、消除疲勞，因而引起了美國軍方的興趣。美軍tDCS研究負責人生物醫學工程師Andy McKinley使用該項技術説明那些需要連續幾個小時監視間諜無人機的士兵們，使他們能夠在更長時間內保持警覺、反應更為靈敏、判斷更為準確。
然而天下沒有免費的午餐，這些藥物、技術都會帶來明顯的副作用，讓使用者產生依賴性。服用「聰明藥」利他林會帶來睡眠障礙、心臟負擔加重、焦慮、抑鬱等一系列的副作用，還會使服用者產生強烈的生理及心理雙重依賴。
【「罪魁禍首」是多巴胺？】
說到上癮，不得不提到多巴胺（Dopamine）。多巴胺又被稱作「快樂分子」，是大腦中的一種神經遞質，負責傳遞快樂、興奮，引起欲望、衝動。如果能控制多巴胺的合成、釋放，我們便能控制一個人的喜怒哀樂。而聰明的人類總是想盡辦法法找到捷徑給自己帶來異乎尋常的快感，殊不知在不經意間打開了潘朵拉的魔盒。
我們為什麼會對這些藥物上癮呢？首先，藥物能夠啟動大腦中的獎賞系統，使服用者瞬間體會到快感。獎賞系統是我們大腦中的一組神經元，主要由「快感中樞」中腦腹側蓋區（ventral tegmental area）和阿肯伯氏核（nucleus accumbens）及負責決策的杏仁核（amygdala）構成。任何使我們感到愉快的行為，都會啟動這個區域，促使大腦合成更多的多巴胺而引起一系列的愉悅感。
毒品則能刺激大腦分泌成倍甚至數十倍的多巴胺，帶來極致的快感，使人對藥物產生強烈的渴望，欲罷不能。相比生理上的依賴，心理上對毒品的依賴更為可怕。在心理上，毒品利用人們嚮往美好、逃避痛苦的弱點，使之一旦觸碰毒品便難以逃脫它們的魔掌。
其實如果回頭看看我們日常生活中的小事，品嘗美食、欣賞優美的音樂、運動、學習，甚至曬太陽，都能提高腦內多巴胺的分泌，給我們帶來快樂。而我們也應當以成熟的心智去對待多巴胺帶給我們的影響，享受它帶來的渴望、興奮、幸福，但不要被其奴役為賭徒、網癮患者、購物狂或者癮君子。
