Placebo Effect Link Discovered With Previously Unassociated Parts of the Brain
Patients suffering from chronic pain have limited treatment options, often relying on medications like opioids that come with harmful side effects and high addiction risks. A new study in mice, published in Current Biology journal, suggests a new way to use the placebo effect for treating chronic pain. By activating specific neurons in the brain li...

New Study Explains How Human Brain Developed Differently Than Neanderthals
Researchers have introduced modern human variants in mice. The six amino acid positions are the same in both mice and Neanderthals. It was found that three modern human amino acids in two of the proteins cause a longer metaphase, a phase where chromosomes are prepared for cell division, and this results in fewer errors when the chromosomes are dist...

Human Brain Grown In Mice To Boost Cure For Neurological Disorders
In a first, US scientists have grown miniature human brains or human brain organoids, in the skulls of mice, a breakthrough that could boost stem cell research as well as provide insight into neurological disorders such as autism, dementia, and schizophrenia.

Human Antibody Shields Mouse Foetuses Against Zika
An antibody produced by the human body shielded unborn mice against Zika, a study said on Monday, raising hopes for thwarting the virus known to cause brain damage in human foetuses.
