Lab mice with the mental retardation of Down syndrome got smarter after being fed a drug that strengthened brain circuits involved in learning and memory, researchers reported Sunday.
After receiving once-daily doses of pentylenetetrazole, or PTZ, for 17 days, the mice could recognize objects and navigate mazes as well as normal mice did, researchers said. The improvements lasted up to two months after the drug was discontinued, according to the report in the journal Nature Neuroscience.

Good news for liberals
A new drug has made retarded mice smarter, according to The Los Angeles Times. Michael Savage has been saying for years that liberalism is a mental disorder. This could be the cure. For one time only, I'll support a mammoth, liberal social program that burdens taxpayers -- all liberals should have access to this drug free of charge.
