Their reasoning was that just as DNA carries genetic "memories," so other molecules might encode and carry information plucked from transient electrical impulses. Some early researchers proposed the idea of a separate brain molecule for each memory. The hypothesis of Swedish Neurobiologist Holger Hydén of the University of Göteborg was a bit more sophisticated; he thought that RNA was the key to memory formation and was encouraged in his belief by the results of his experiments with rats. When he taught them special tasks, he discovered that the RNA had not only increased in quantity but was different...

Some 450 men from the carrier John F. Kennedy are flying home for Christmas thanks to the new regulations...
