Its also bad news that Alzheimer's and dementia caused memory loss has a lot of funding aimed at it. The "Alzheimer's is brain inflammation" theory has gotten a lot of traction lately. In fact, there was just a study that showed a NSAID could treat memory issues, at least in mice models. http://www.medicaldaily.com/period-pain-drug-can-cure-alzheimers-disease-new-study-suggests-394583 http://www.medicaldaily.com/period-pain-drug-can-cure-alzhei... I suspect they fell out of "stealth mode" because they're up against the clock here. We may have simple pill-based Alzheimer's treatment in a decade or so. Brain surgery is a hard sell even if they solve all the technical issues. If the inflammation theory is right, then a anti-inflammation treatment that can work its way past the blood-brain barrier might be the best treatment here. If its just a modified NSAID it would be very cheap and very low risk. >“He thinks the next big challenge for the human race is how to improve our brains,” says Berger. The problem I see is that intellectual people overvalue intellectualism. Way too many billionaires are funding vanity pie-in-the-sky projects like keeping their minds alive and youthful forever or brain training sites/apps instead of funding things that could actually work and help 'regular' people. I suspect socially smart people know how to play deep pocketed nerds and empty their wallets. This startup seems like a fairly bullshit venture imo, or at least way too pie-in-the-sky to remotely go public or start sending out press releases.
