The title of this article should be: "Flax Oil, Mice and Funny Cigarettes", just to keep it accurate. Otherwise, thanks for the translation. Omega 3 and brain science is always fascinating.

Are these sentences confusing for anyone else?

"And it turns out this process is modulated in the mouse prefrontal cortex by the endocannabinoid system. And in mice raised on a lifelong diet deficient in omega 3 fatty acids, the long term depression did not occur in the prefrontal cortex."

Why would the ones who were "deficient" avoid the depression? Shouldn't it be the other way around? I keep re-reading this, but it sounds like it contradicts the author's point.

I know this technically has almost nothing to do with most of your writing but since you did bring it up and I am curious on what you think. I myself can say that I am not a big fan of marijuana, but would you say that if a person did it every once in a while would it would be ok? Considering that the receptors would not be played with too much as to create major side effects such as depression, and unruly behavior? To be honest I am an 18 year old kid that likes to ask questions and I will as well admit that I tried my best to understand this. Its just the thought of sending more signals makes me go to wonder that if that one part of our body didn't try to weaken or even extinguish those signals, if we could achieve a higher usage of the brain. I could just be completely wrong here though and have not understood anything that I have just read, but you did an excellent job at explaining, and I would love to hear more of what you have to say!
