An Existing Drug Found to Reverse Mental Retardation in Mice
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=existing-drug-reverses-a&sc=rss
A drug already on the market for a completely unrelated condition could be used to treat a form of mental retardation linked to autismif the results of a study in mice hold up, researchers report.
Scientists used rapamycina medication doctors prescribe to patients who have had transplants to prevent their bodies from rejecting the new organsto treat learning disorders associated with a disease called tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) in mice. TSC is a rare genetic disorder that causes brain tumors, seizures, learning disabilities, skin lesions and kidney tumors in the 50,000 Americans and one million people worldwide who have the disease.
Half of those with TSC are autistic, and as many as one in five people with the condition also suffer from mental retardation, so the hope is that rapamycin may be used to treat learning disabilities and short-term memory deficits in all kinds of autism as well, says neurobiologist and co-author of a study in Nature Medicine, Alcino Silva of the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Most people WANT to be retarded. Why do you think the cigarette companies make so much money? Valium, booze, weed, hell people will drink cough syrup to get more retarded than they allready are. -
I think that is the funniest title-and-and-first-line I have ever read on a forum.
