Studies of Rats on Memory and Intelligence

[Christian]

Ginger, in BSP-3: ["In Search of Memory" by Eric Kandel] about 11 min in you spoke of how they could make brilliant rats by blocking a (memory?) suppressor gene. I'm looking in the show notes and I'm not finding what study that was from. Was that one of Kandel's studies?

Also can someone please tell me which study Robert Sapolsky is talking about here in this film?
