A group of Spanish researchers reported today in Science that they may have stumbled upon a substance that could become the ultimate memory-enhancer. The group was studying a poorly-understood region of the visual cortex. They found that if they boosted production of a protein called RGS-14 (pictured) in that area of the visual cortex in mice, it dramatically affected the animals’ ability to remember objects they had seen.
Mice with the RGS-14 boost could remember objects they had seen for up to two months. Ordinarily the same mice would only be able to remember these objects for about an hour.

I just fucked the ass of my final exam and only Agoraphobic Nosebleed can encompass the feeling of joy I feel now (it’s totally joy).

I have an ass-fucker of a final exam tomorrow and I’ve been doing my best to study, which means I’ve been listening to a lot of instrumental post-rock!!!
