We may find many potential cognitive enhancing drugs when looking at the different mechanism(s) of action. Yes 'racetams are great, but when you see the vast potential ability of other drugs acting on the brain it is astounding that we don't have more of a variety to choose from. I'm posting this list to help this community understand the potential of finding new cognitive enhancing drugs. We need to crowdsource our research to find current drugs and existing drugs for all these categories. I suggest users do a little bit of research in various publications to find drugs with a different mechanism of action than ones that act on Acetylcholine receptors.

Rather than posting a bunch of seemingly random concepts, why not start a few discussions on ones that show promise or are interesting?
