Editorial Commends Federal Effort To Boost Brain Research
A Ventura County Star editorial states that if a brain-mapping research initiative announced by President Obama this week "even partially attains its lofty aims, the scientists and other researchers behind it will have earned the gratitude of generations." According to the editorial, the project could lead to treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, but "the initial funding request is modest."
