Super Mouse

Today I read a short story called Super Mouse. In this short story it talks about a smart mouse named Doogie. Doogie scores really high on intelligence tests, can find hidden objects, and he can find his way through complex mazes. Doogie's genes were altered before he was born that's why he is so smart. Dr. Joseph Tsien altered Doogie's memory genes therefore he was born with better memories. Since the human brain and a mouse's brain have the same structure they work on mice. Doctors now think they might be able to help humans with memory loss.
