This is interesting. The less social mice have mutant receptors for glutamate

that refresh twice as fast as normals, meaning they are available twice as often

for glutamate. this implies that they would be more sensitive to glutamate.

One could speculate that this would make it a really bad idea to then overload

these extra receptors with glutamate in the form of MSG, something many of our

kids are reported to be sensitive to.

Would be interesting to see what happens if these mutant mice are fed MSG.

I'm not a scientist, or a doctor...I believe you are...but I have heard the

same thing about many of our kids...that their glutamate is already high

and/or they are more sensitive to glutamate...
