...first introduced us to DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid. Crick, a Brit, was an inveterate scientific tinkerer as a boy. Watson, a Chicago native, won his degrees in zoology. In 1953 both were researchers at Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England, where they identified the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecular substance that makes possible the transmission of inherited characteristics. In 1976 Crick joined the Salk Institute and geared his energies toward exploring the workings of the brain, including short- and long-term memory and the phenomenon of dreams. Watson's interest in genes has not diminished. The former Harvard professor...
...This process amazes me, but, in terms of molecular control, no one has the faintest idea what is going on," Tsai says in a newsletter...
Other findings can now be put into the context of this discovery, painting a picture of how neurons orient themselves according to molecular signposts--using the molecules as signals to either turn or stop...
