So is there anything we can do in the meantime toboost our brain power? The answer is yes. 2, 1999 issue of the journal Nature,raises the possibility that genetic engineers may someday be able to helphumans learn and remember faster, too.īut inserting genes into humans to increase intelligence is a long wayoff, researchers say. The mice can learn to navigatemazes and find or recognize objects faster than run-of-the-mill rodents.The news, announced in the Sept. Scientistsat Princeton University recently created a strain of smarter mice by insertinga gene that boosts the activity of brain cells. The task of building a better mousetrap just got a lot harder. This is part one of a two-part series on ways tosharpen your brainpower.
