As Harvard economist Caroline Hoxby can tell you, my education's yield will far exceed the initial cost. If you have not taken Social Analysis 10, "The Principles of Economics," that means that I will probably earn back the amount of money...
...altered mice grow up looking and acting just like ordinary mice, with no evidence of seizures or convulsions, according to Tsien. That's critical. The NMDA receptor shows up throughout the brain, and though calcium is crucial to learning and memory, too much of it can lead to cell death. That's what happens during a stroke: when brain cells are deprived of oxygen, they release huge amounts of glutamate, which overstimulates nearby NMDA receptors and kills their host cells. Nature may have designed NR2B-based receptors to taper off in adult brains for a reason. Some scientists fear that...
Premature cell death isn't the only possible complication. Stanford's Robert Malenka has shown that the NMDA receptor is involved in sensitizing the brain to drugs like cocaine, heroin and amphetamines, and others are investigating its role in triggering chronic pain--two more indications that it may not be wise to try to fool Mother Nature...
