Coming Soon: Photographic Memory in a Pill?
Scientists isolate a protein that significantly increases visual recall

"Unlike the long-term memory creation that was
imaged recently,
this memory extension only applies to memories made through the
poorly-understood visual cortex of the brain. The scientists first
removed from mice the portion of the brain believed to be associated
with visual memories--layer six of the V2 region--and showed that the
mice could no longer remember any object they saw. They then increased
the production of a group of proteins--RGS-14--created in that cortex.
The mice's retention of visual images was increased almost 1,500 times."
I GOT IT 4 CHEAP!
cocaine rap references aside, what would the delivery method for such a protein be?
