Memory-Boosting Chemical Identified in Mice: Cell Biologists Find Molecule Targets a Key Biological Pathway
Sadly, this is a typically bad piece of science communication via press release. Evolution comes up, not handled very well.
With the help of a newly discovered small drug molecule, mice can remember better, apparently at the cost of opening themselves to increased cellular stress. Hmmm, I wonder why better memory didn't evolve that way?
