Deleting Certain Gene Makes Mice Smarter

An anonymous reader writes "Deleting a certain gene in mice can make them smarter by unlocking a mysterious region of the brain considered to be relatively inflexible, scientists at Emory University School of Medicine have found. Mice with a disabled RGS14 gene are able to remember objects they'd explored and learn to navigate mazes better than regular mice, suggesting that RGS14's presence limits some forms of learning and memory."

I couldn't ...I was leaning...I'm replying...I wonder ...I have contemplated...it occurs to me...I like women...

Even by Slashdot standards, this post is extraordinarily narcissistic. While you are probably the most interesting thing in your world...the one you share with the rest of us actually has other people in it. If you want to talk about yourself this much, hash it out with a shrink.

And why are people modding this informative? Because you all know so much about erroneous now? Sheesh.
