Yup. They located the location of cynicism. unfortunatly, it makes up most of the brain. Thus, the cure would require a complete ablation of the organ (which in my opinion, might actually improve most people's thinking and behavior).
on a side note, i'd like to mention that Ambrose bierce defines a cynic as follows:
Cynic, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.*
