One quote: So far I'm very much surprised about the effect on the overall cognition. My personal experiences are, that ISRIB definitely has it's effects on memory consolidation, but in my experience it doesn't only influence the long term memory formation (as JPC suggested), but the short term memory as well. It mens practicaly, that while reading a text, it is way much easier to remember the words, expression, and contexts as well (after 1-2 days). For instance currently I'm studying medicine basics again (I will enter a residency program soon), the subjects floaded with unique expressions related to molecular biology, basics of anatomy etc.. meaning, they are not very easy to link while memorizing even for a medical professional (they are meant to be boring..), and so far, after two days (meaning the text I read on friday) I can still remember a lot sharper on the names of for example cellular proteins, special basic physiological mechanisms than before, it is very obvious to me. I have to add, that I would value my memory above the average (as far as I can asses), but lately I somehow got slower by memorisation (I think it is an aging effect, and that was one of the reasons, why I started to search for some chemical hacking of my brain..).

Kidding aside though, anytime the question of, "Does this thing in mice do this other thing in humans?" the answer is always, "Who the hell knows until after the study is complete?!"

He is mistaken about "nothing" in case of brain trauma. Racetams have been shown to be mildly effective.
