Abstract (2. Language): 
Nootropic is derived from Greek words noos or "mind" and tropic means "to bend/turn". They improve mental functions such as cognition, memory, intelligence, motivation, attention and concentration. They work by increasing brain oxygen, nerve growth, brain neurotransmitters, hormones, enzymes. . Unlike caffeine and amphetamine, nootropics only act within the brain, so they lack the discomfort and danger of stimulants. Some researches dubbed nootropics "Smart Drugs."
