Default Scientists Identify Genes Activated During Learning And Memory

Now if we could just figure out what genes turn on honesty and integrity we'd be on a roll.

Quote:
Science Daily Researchers have long recognized that for learning and memory to take place, certain genes must be activated to alter neuron activity inside the brain. Disruptions in normal gene expression within these neurons can lead to alarming consequences, such as seizures and epilepsy. But identifying and cataloging all the genes involved in learning is a daunting task. In the March 13 issue of BMC Neuroscience, Carnegie Mellon University scientists show how an innovative computational approach can provide a rapid way to identify the likely members of this long sought-after set of genes.

True, Harsh.

This information was very interesting from a teaching standpoint. This kind of research could really revolutionize the way we teach our students.

They don't tell you that they do those studies on the brains of aborted fetuses that are kept alive just for these inhumane studies you think are so great. Now that's honesty and integrity for you.
