I wonder how long it will be until liberals are screaming for the government to start paying to have this turned on for free for the poor and illegal immigrants.

“A big question this research raises is why would we, or mice, have a gene that makes us less smart

Put into a virus and injected along with the last flu vaccines.

Genes are not the reason Homer is stupid. He has a crayon crammed up his nose and into his brain. When it’s removed he is very intelligent.

I thought I heard somebody talking about me.

Guess not.

Better at memorizing a maze is NOT “more intelligent”, it is “better memory”.

As to why we (and mice) would have a gene that makes it easier to forget, perhaps they should consider that while being locked into the memory of a maze may be advantageous to a lab raised maze walking mouse - it could be absolute MURDER for a wild mouse that has to adapt to changing circumstances and cannot be a slave to its memory.

Imagine if you never forgot anything! I asked out a gal once, and she turned me down.... never do THAT again!

I always thought it was the lack of a gene but it makes sense because you can’t be that stupid from nothing.

I thought it was the removal of a crayon lodged in his brain that caused his upswing in intelligence.

Gee, thanks for nothing. Next thing is for these Homer-less gene mice to populate, get into my house and outsmart my mousetraps.
D'oh!

It seems likely that this gene helps to prevent some form of disability. The strain of lab mice used in this experiment may lack the potential for the disability, but later research on wild type mice will probably uncover it.

Shouldn’t they have called it the “Pinky” gene instead?
