Drinking coffee has been linked with improved cognitive functions, such as memory and attention, thanks to caffeine, which acts as a stimulant. The effect is typically observed shortly after drinking, with memory performance being acute for an hour or more. These benefits are tied to caffeine’s ability to block adenosine, a neurotransmitter that can make you feel drowsy, thereby increasing neuron firing and neurotransmitter release.
