Everyone remembers their first crush, or the first time they accomplished anythin monumental, well newly discovered research has shown that special, important, and significant memories might be inbeded within your DNA molecules. ”We think we’re seeing short-term memories forming in the hippocampus and slowly turning into long-term memories in the cortex,” says Miller, ”the cool idea here is that the brain could be borrowing a form of cellular memory from developmental biology to use for what we think of as memory.”

It seems as though the computer was only discovered thirty or so years ago, and now children can surf the internet on their phone and other miniscule gadgets. Now the resoning power of the computers have been advanced so greatly that they can carry out incredible experiments, and uncover concepts about the human body that we may have never even thought could be possible. One can only poder where out civilization will be in another decade or so with scientific research. Pobbly a cure for cancer or Huntingtons disease, the ideas are endless as long as people are willing to pursue them and continue to be passionate about their line of work. This is out present environment… and as it changes little by little each day, we barely notice how far it’s come over the last decade… somewhat scary when you think about it.
