Gary F. Marcus Quotes

In The Years To Come, Some Of Our Best Minds Will Try To Dig Deeper Into That Computer Program, To Figure Out Its Individual Lines Of Code (the IF-THENS That We Call Genes), The Products Of Those Lines (what We Call Proteins), How All Those Lines Of Biological Code Fit Together, And How They Make Room For Nurture.

In The Long Run, The Effects On Society Will Be Profound. Take, For Example, The Advances That Our Increasing Understanding Of Genes Will Lead To In Medicine. Because, As We Have Seen, The Brain Is Built Like The Rest Of The Body, It Is Also Amenable To Many Of The Same Types Of Treatment. For Example, Stem Cell Therapies Originally Developed For Leukemia Are Being Adapted To Treat Parkinson's Disease And Huntington's Disease. Gene Therapies Developed For Cystic Fibrosis May Someday Help Treat Brain Tumors. Both Work By Harnessing The Body's Own Toolkit For Development.
