How does caffeine may improve brain energetics and in particular executive function?

What do you think?

It will depend on circumstances.
If you didn't get enough sleep last night a strong coffee may well perk you up enough to get stuff done.

If you already had many cups  then it's possible that the side effects from another will distract you from being able to do stuff.
