Haier¡¯s research (¡°Achievement gap can only be closed if we embrace neuroscience¡±, Opinion, 6 April) uncovers 200 genes that appear unusually active when Jo performs a little algebra, doesn¡¯t Jo always have the personal option of not being turned on by that topic? Limiting the potential of neuroscience, is Jo more than the sum of her genes?
