In 2013, ParaCell recruited actress Julie Marik as the primary spokeswoman for Neurogenia, signing a contract for over 35 different ads and commercial productions.

Accusations of unethical medical research and experimentation
In 2005, a study released by <some medical journal> drew a possible connection between cases of severe cases of insanity, mania and paranoia in veterans of the Armed Forces of the Temuair Empire and secretive experiments supposedly conducted during the late 1960's into the 1970's involving research into methods to reduce the amount of sleep required by infantry and other combat arms forces. According to the report, ParaCell's Pharmaceuticals and Biotech division was reportedly involved with these "extended active duty" experiments, including producing autoinjectors containing serotonin to be administered to participants.
