The discovery, made by US brain researchers from New Jersey, opens up new horizons in the creation of products that will improve human intelligence, such as memory. Scientists have discovered that a protein discovered recently stimulates the development of dendrites - the endings of nerve cells - and helps these cells contact with each other.

Activity open in 1999 saypina protein in the brain has been established only recently. In the present study, which was carried out by experts at the University "Rutgers", it has been proved that the neurons of the hippocampus (a part of this area of ??

the brain in the process of memorizing long been known) saypin stimulates the growth of dendrites and the organization of connections between nerve cells.

Scientists say that it is possible to create a drug that will play saypina effect on the brain, or at least to strengthen it and help fight memory problems. "Finding saypina and the opening mechanism of its work opens new perspectives in the treatment of severe neurological diseases," - said the author of Professor Bonnie Fereshteyn.
