JTSG......there has been much conjecture on the board about the lash-up between Anavex and Biogen because the their mutual focus on neurodegenerative diseases and the now long running MTA of 2-73.

I have previously commented that the discussions between the two have more than likely been on a business level as well as scientific. That these talks have not previously been acknowledged, points to monetary differences between between the two for a proposed partnership/licensing deal.

IMHO Biogen's BOD is asking Micheal Vounatosis about what went wrong at the AAIC and how 2-73 has apparently (despite being in Biogen's lab for a very extended time) upstaged BAN2401.. I believe that the level of conversation/negotiation has ratcheted up since Wednesday.
