memory-enhancing drugs Explanation: ... is used much more frequently than the other suggested terms according to my search. See, for example, https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2779437/ https://bebrainfit.com/brain-enhancing-drugs/ "And lastly, many baby boomers and seniors take memory-enhancing drugs." https://science.sciencemag.org/content/304/5667/36 "An eager market--from Alzheimer's patients to aging overachievers--awaits the first memory-enhancing drugs.
