Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of the current project is to validate PDE4 inhibitors as a target for cognition enhancers (proof-of-concept) using a translational behaviour-EEG approach. The project will demonstrate whether memory, but also attention, information processing or executive function improves with the PDE4 inhibitor roflumilast in healthy humans.
