The really exciting thing in this article is that this research led them to a new technique for growing brain stem cells in vitro, which has been very difficult until now. If that isn't being oversold, it's big news. That's going to make future research into diseases like ALS a lot easier.

  Not sure why this is such big news, it's been known for centuries that guys have two brains, and often do the thinking with the little one.
