Ok...am I the only one that wonders how they gauge short term memory loss, or lack of it, in fruit flies???:D

Good question!!

This seems more like a memory loss pill than an Anti-stupidity pill. My DH needs it....

No thanks docs you can keep your pills especially considering what they test the drugs on, some hippies from the 60's might like to give it a whirl though.

Can you imagine, we fixed short term memory loss but in tests on humans it erases long term memory.:D

This was my thought too when I heard about this. And if they CAN test short term memory in a fruit fly - why are they testing it??? I know there are things MUCH more needed than this!! I sure it was government funded of course
