X-Message-Number: 17948 From: "Bryan Hall" <> Subject: Memory Boosting Drugs Date: Thu, 15 Nov 2001 23:54:02 -0800 Here's an article about researchers who are trying to develop drugs to deal with memory loss: http://www.observer.co.uk/international/story/0,6903,591444,00.html "One such company is Memory Pharmaceuticals... They have used analysis of cell cultures, slices of brain and animal models to establish an understanding of human memory. 'We are searching the molecular pathways of memory for single proteins that can be used pharmacologically to repair impairments at the level of the synapse,' the company's president, Axel Unterbeck, says. The approach seems to have succeeded. Unterbeck recently announced that he expects Memory Pharmaceuticals to launch trials of a pill to enhance the memory within the next year." -Bryan Hall Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17948
