Increased intelligence through genetic engineering
By Robert Benjamin(Robert Benjamin)
The team of researchers, from UT Southwestern Medical Center, have conditionally knocked out a specific gene to prevent an enzyme called cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) from being produced, but only in the brain.
