*** MIT researchers clarify way brain makes maps
Researchers said Thursday they had identified one of the genes that
help a mouse's brain build mental maps and confirmed the location in
the brain where that work is done. The Massachusetts Institute of
Technology scientists said their finding could be useful one day in
treating such diseases as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Huntington's.
It also appears to confirm a 47-year-old theory that memories are made
by strengthening the chemical connections between individual brain
cells. For the full text story, see
