Summary:
    Researchers have developed a groundbreaking microscopy method that
enables detailed three-dimensional (3D) RNA analysis at cellular resolution
in whole intact mouse brains.
The new method, called TRISCO, has the potential to transform our understanding of brain function,
both in normal conditions and in disease, according to the new study.

There are a lot of different RNA molecules in the brain, and this method
can identify three of them, though they hope to be able to push this up
to a hundred or so in the future.

There are 23,000 different messenger RNA's encoded in the human genome,

The researcher's seem to have a way to go yet.

 There are many ways, targeting specific food is one of those.
But if you can modify the related brain parts / neural net structure, you are in!

Not that anybody knows how to do that with something as simple as a virus. Religions work by brain-washing the young. So does science, but it is more careful about what it washes out and what it lets get back in.
The religious right in the USA seems to like Donald Trump, which is really very strange. He does tell them what they want to hear, but they really should have enough sense to realise that that is the only reason he spouts that kind of nonsense.
