Making old brains young again:
Researchers at Yale University have now found a molecular switch that can give an adult brain the plasticity of a young brain.
It’s no secret that juvenile brains are more malleable and able to learn new things faster than adult ones – just ask any adult who has tried to learn a new language. That malleability also enables younger brains to recover more quickly from trauma. Researchers at Yale University have now found a way to effectively turn back the clock and make an old brain young again.
... wasn't this a key plot point in Rise of the Planet of the Apes?
