President Barack Obama is proposing a new investment into research to map the human brain in hopes of unlocking some of its mysteries, a senior administration official says.
The president planned to propose a $100 million investment for next year during remarks Tuesday morning, the White House said.
Obama mentioned the idea in his State of the Union address, comparing the potential to the Human Genome Project that mapped DNA.
"Every dollar we invested to map the human genome returned $140 to our economy. Every dollar," Obama said in the address to Congress in February. "Today, our scientists are mapping the human brain to unlock the answers to Alzheimer's."

Anyone who honestly believes this regime will use that money to produce a brain map, needs one. Follow. The. Money.
Good one!
Cave women were the gatherers, that is, forever seeking, looking, shifting stuff, weighing options, examining, tsk-tsking, looking at other gatherers for comparison, joining up with the other more successful gatherers. You get my drift.
Men hunted: look for FOOD, chase it, kill it, bring it home to cave. VERY simple.
There was a comedian, a long time ago, who did the routine for that. Hahaha, very funny. Man shopping for shirt: look for shirt, find shirt, kill shirt (Shirt dead now.), bring it home.
The Left would LOVE to find the sexual preference gene.
This country's Left has lobbied RELENTLESSLY for the "gay" gene discovery. SOMEthing, ANYthing to validate homosexuality. American and other first world scientists have LABORED to find the mythical gay gene. DOESN'T exist.
Bottom line: God created Adam and EVE, not Adam and stEVE.
Homo (and bi) sexuality is a choice. Sorry, but it is.
Fixed it.
Biden has a brain????
Seriously, why is the “GOVERNMENT” doing this? Private enterprise should be doing this....oh, maybe there are some crony capitalists involved????
....into a start-up coincidentally run by one of his campaign donors, which will go belly up in a year a la Solyndra. The donor will be rich, employees will be jobless, part of the $100 million will find its way back to Obama's "organization", and NO ONE will be jailed.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
There’s nothing but a flashing”Vacancy”sign between”Lunch-Box Joe’s”ears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What part of “we are broke” does the Kenyan Kid not understand?

I think we are capable of doing that ourselves.
I was thinking of Jesus return. I pray we are all humbling ourselves and praying.

If it is that great an ivnestment, then by golly let’s put all our resources itno medical studies and b y golly we’ll have a balanced budget in just a yeaR OR SO- My goodness what an investment- heck- I’ll invest my own money to get a return like that

They are pulling htese figures out of their butt to justify MORE reckless spendign hwil Americans STILL are without jobs to the tune of millions of people- Seniors are havign ot make touch choices between food or heat of medicines because htey CAN NOT AFFORD the cost ofl ivign increase that the govebnrment denies occured on our dearl eader’s watch
Where the hell is the GOP calling BS on his claims?

They might do it if they could implant things in kids to stimulate or quiet down certain kinds of reactions. Maybe even surgery to keep the drones productive without having any urges to rebel.
I know for sure he isn't interested in protecting us from Alzheimer's unless he thinks he'll get it. He wants to just give us a pill.
