Hope and Change


Scientists have found a drug that can fire up brain cells (neurons) that elderly rhesus macaques monkeys had ceased using as they grew older. As Instapundit would say, "Faster Please." The article Instapundit linked to in National Geographic states: "Chemicals given to rhesus macaques blocked a brain molecule that slows the firing of the brain's nerve cells, or neurons, as we age — prompting those nerve cells to act young again."

Like the professor in Jurassic Park said just because we can should we?
