Re:Can a molecule that makes mice smarter heal a human brain? by SubiculumCode on Thursday September 29, 2016 @12:28PM (#12606558)
The article's title on statnews.com bugs me, I admit I have not investigated this case, but...

I suspect it wasn't that graying old man that discovered that molecule, but that man's brilliant but underpaid post-doc that discovered that molecule.

Walter (Main Investigator), gave credit to Carmela Sidrauski his Post-Doc. He said if it were not for her, they would not have looked at it. The chemical itself was kicked out by a massive screening of small molecules, but originally not looked at because it was not very soluble.
