>>>>>[I am have time to analyse your sample, and it is very
interesting. The brain tissue is showing normal signs of age,
looking like someone about 50 years old. What is unusual is that the
cells are still dividing. The liquid nitrogen killed the tissue, but
from the percent of cells in mitosis, it is looking the growth rate
is like a young child, almost newborn. This means faster learning
and better. The cells are also being very small, so there are more
cells in a small area- more than five times normal. In the spine and
nerve tissue, the axons are much larger than normal, and the axonal
boutons (they are giving information from one neuron to another) are
also large and many more. This should be making nerve signals travel
about twice normal speed. Again the tissue was dead so i cannot test
the physiology, but basic cable theory says if you increase diameter,
you decrease resistance and increase conduction velocity. I would be
very interesting if you could be send me some live tissue to test. I
am also very like to know who this person is/was and how this is
happen.]<<<<<
