The dream of treating learning disabilities with a drug is a little closer to reality now that Canadian scientists have identified a brain protein crucial to learning.

A Toronto research team discovered that this single protein, known as Neto1, helps brain cells talk to one another. If the protein is missing or not working properly, it can result in learning disabilities.

"We've identified a new molecular player that was previously completely unsuspected in being involved in how the brain works," Dr. Michael Salter, head of the neuroscience and mental health program at Sick Kids, told CTV News.
