I'm SUUUUPER interested in what the human trials turn out like.

Edit, because I was thinking about this more.

On a related note, what do EEG's look like cross-species? Can any meaningful comparisons be made cross-species?

Would a mouse that's been dosed with human glial cells show a change in EEG? Would it's EEG look at all more 'human?'

Ever read "Flowers For Algernon?"

Seriously though, I am too.

Yep. Although I don't intend to re-read it. Too sad for me.

Yes it was. But this study reminds me so much of it.

Great story though.
