An exerpt here: "Scientists have stumbled on a world first in helping a man improve his memory.
They were experimenting with deep-brain stimulation in an attempt to curb the appetite of a 30st patient who suffered from a lifelong obesity problem.
Electrodes were pushed into his brain and stimulated with an electric current."
All is well. It seems they remembered them after they had forgotten about them. Sounds kind of John Kerryish to me.
All of a sudden, they were sitting around together getting stoned and then one of the good doctors declared between tokes: "oh yea... [cough, cough, hack, hack] I meant to tell you guys that I came up with this, uh.....sheesh, what was it?[cough, cough, hack, hack] I'll think of it in a minute or two.
I apologize, but I've lost my train of thought here, so maybe it'd be best if you go here and see for yourself.
