NSI-189 is being developed by Neutralstem and has shown to increase the hippocampus density by 20%.
Are there any other new drugs in development that increase the density of other areas of the brain such as the prefrontal cortex?

Hey dude, you seem like the man. What kind of study do you gotta do to learn how to make these kind of stuff? Heh, there's probably a lot of things involved, but I'm guessing the basic science are needed.
But hell, I just have a feeling that one day you'll be able to do wonders for people with mental illness. Who knows, I can just hope. There's gotta be something, right?

Well you can know as much or as little as you like. All it takes it being able to leverage the people that know what you don't. I am not a chemist by any sense of the word. However, I know how to find the information I need; and if I can't, I know how to find people that can. I am more into the pharmacology of it. However, I am starting to get more into the chemistry of it as well. My brain is never satiated unless I am learning something new.
Yes, I hope that one day I can be a part of something that helps those with mental illness, and pushes the knowledge of our brain forward. Who knows how, when, or what that will entail, but I know I will certainly try wherever I can.
