Comments on: MIT Neuroscientists Develop Promising Treatments That Could Reverse Autism, Mental Retardation, And Alzheimer’s Disease http://www.bmedreport.com/archives/9716 health and wellness through psychological science Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:44:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris Fisher http://www.bmedreport.com/archives/9716/comment-page-1#comment-382 Chris Fisher Sun, 21 Feb 2010 13:45:40 +0000 http://www.bmedreport.com/?p=9716#comment-382 These are simply startling (in a positive way) developments in the world of neuroscience. The fact that researchers now talk about cures for complex genetic disorders that few thought reversible only a few years ago shows just how far neuroscience research has come. The article suggests that these promising treatments are more than just lab experiments with animals as clinical trials are underway and drug companies have already started testing with patients. I do not believe it an exaggeration to say that if these treatments pan out, we may all witness an amazing time in neuroscience/medicine and for persons with these disorders.
