Abstract

In this article the authors discuss the need for neuroscientists to be taught neuroethics. They argue that as the field of neurosciences advances, students need to be educated in applied neuroethics as part of their formal training. They cite a study regarding the use of cognitive enhancing drugs in neuropsychiatric groups as an example of how neuroscience research findings could have far-reaching ethical implications on education, treatment, and the law.
