Abstract

Food for thought The Correspondence columns this week comment on the merits and demerits of cognitive enhancement, prompted by the Commentary 'Professor's little helper', by Barbara Sahakian and Sharon Morein-Zamir (Nature 450, 1157–1159; 2007), and the continuing online Nature Forum thread 'Would you boost your brain power?' ( http://tinyurl.com/2qpxff ).
