...long time, "Abbott's memory pills" are the subject of growing enthusiasm among brain researchers. Until last week, the only evidence of the pills' ef fectiveness had been supplied by experi ments with rats; now there is encour aging preliminary evidence, reports Psy chiatrist D.

...Trial. A major objection to the idea of injecting a "memory molecule" is that injected RNA is broken down biochemically into much smaller molecules before it can reach the brain. But a drug that increases RNA production in the brain itself might get around this objection. Psychiatrist D.

Says Cylert's co-developer, Biochemist Glasky: "We are going to have trials on thousands of people and should...
