Scientists have found out that algae virus is also found in humans and it affects their cognitive abilities, thus, making them feel and behave like a stupid.
Tricking Algae's Biological Clock Boosts Production of Valuable Compounds
Tricking algae's biological clock to remain in its daytime setting can dramatically boost the amount of valuable compounds these simple marine plants can produce when grown in constant light.

The study involved 90 participants, of which 40 tested positive for the algae virus. And those who showed the presence of the virus, fared badly in tests meant to measure the speed and accuracy of visual processing. They also obtained lower scores in activities that measured attention.
“Many physiological differences between person A and person B are encoded in the set of genes each inherits from parents, yet some of these differences are fuelled by the various microorganisms we harbour and the way they interact with our genes,” said Dr Yolken as reported by the Independent.

Scientists Study the Social Origin of Intelligence in the Brain
Scientists are tackling and beginning to answer longstanding questions about how the brain works, by studying the injuries and aptitudes of Vietnam War veterans, who suffered penetrating head wounds during the war.

Genes Able to Make Use of Alternate Set of Instructions When Producing Proteins
Some genes are able to make use of different set of instructions when making proteins, thereby altering the proteins' content, functions and ability to survive.
