That is an interesting question!  But the current studies have all been done on
human beings, not on mice.  There could be dangers to mice from giving them the
ginko biloba herb.  I would strongly suggest that you consult with a local
veterinarian who specializes in "exotic pets" before you give ginko biloba to any
non-human creatures.

If you wish to see more information about the use of ginko biloba in human
beings, you can go to 
http://www3.metacrawler.com and type the words "ginko biloba" in the box at
the top, then click the button that says "phrase" and then "send."  You will get
a lot of Internet links regarding the subject of ginko biloba.
