Coffee, hot sauce, and even Ritalin, help to know "when" as much as "how," nurture persistence along with initiative, help you at any age with your homework and, in some studies, may be likely protectors against dementia, Parkinsons, and Alzheimers. Stimulants also show up in our politics and it could be that we can see a national economy in the language that applies to neural networks.

"Midlife Coffee And Tea Drinking May Protect Against Late-life Dementia
"ScienceDaily (Jan. 15, 2009) — Stockholm, Sweden -- Midlife coffee drinking can decrease the risk of dementia/Alzheimer's disease (AD) later in life. This conclusion is made in a Finnish Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging and Dementia (CAIDE) Study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease.
"The study found that coffee drinkers at midlife had lower risk for dementia and AD later in life compared to those drinking no or only little coffee. The lowest risk (65% decreased) was found among moderate coffee drinkers (drinking 3-5 cups of coffee/day). Adjustments for various confounders did not change the results. Tea drinking was relatively uncommon and was not associated with dementia/AD."
