Re: all brains are different. What about the possibilities of cloning mice and then proceeding to raise them in Skinner boxes with the exact same environmental conditions, the same stimulation routines, etc. ? Ideally this will give us a "baseline" mouse that is not only genetically similar, but also behaviorally similar to some degree. This would undoubtedly be helpful in this quest. - Bryan ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=65191157-9f3b24
