Accelerated Critical Neural Pathway Formation

Medical procedure that uses genetic re-coding to alter the brain of a humanoid patient. it is illegal under laws dating back to the end of the Eugenics war. These laws are based on the argument that if the genetically enhanced people were allowed to compete freely, all parents would feel pressured to have their children enhanced so that they could keep up.
