Everybody has heard about the CREB mice that learn twice as fast. I have
conceived of a genetic modification that should cause increased
intelligence! Lamanin A chain causes dendrite growth. It is a fragment of a
cell adhesion molecule. New dendrites grow when something has been learned
and it is my contention that transforming animals with the lamanin A chain
gene will cause an increase in intelligence equal to or greater than that
shown in smart mice. If lamanin A chain could get through
the blood brain barrier by means of a delivery system it could be injected
or inhaled to cause an increase in intelligence in human beings.
If you have a neurolab equipped for studying animal learning and access to
transgenic animal facilites, send me e-mail at Protologics at worlnet.att.net I
want to get in touch with you. My name is Neil Farbstein. I am the president
of Protologics Consultants,
a biotechnology consulting firm. I would like to talk to somebody who is
interested in testing this idea.
