14 DAY TRIAL // It's not just for fun, it is for real and scientifically based and tested! German newspaper Bild reports that a new "anti-stupid" pill has been developed. Hans-Hilger Ropers, director at Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin created the "magic" pill and tested it on mice. It proved to be working on little animals' brain nerve cells by regulating and enhancing short-term memory and also improving attentiveness.
The pill was tested on lab mice and also on drosophila flies. The "anti-stupidity" pill had a beneficial effect on subjects' brain because it counteracted hyperactivity in specific neurons. By thwarting hyperactivity of some brain cells, the pill was really efficient on "upgrading" short-term memory and also focusing and concentration.
Hans-Hilger Ropers could be seen as the first "inventor" of a pill that could cure stupidity, as the German newspaper called Bild dubs the pill as "the world's first anti-stupidity pill."
Whether this "wonder" drug is going to treat and chase away all types of stupidity and dumb ideas is still under question. Labeling the medicine as a supposed "anti-stupidity " pill could be a bit exaggerated and distorted from reality. However, by improving the activity of memory cells and also the concentration skills, the pill could really have "magic powers" against degenerative neurological diseases that gradually damage humans' cognitive function.
"With mice and fruit flies we were able to eliminate the loss of short-term memory," stated scientist Hans-Hilger Ropers for the German newspaper. Further studies are needed, however, in order to establish if the pill is as effective on human neurons as it was on the nerve cells in the brain of mice and drosophila flies.
