Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have identified a specific brain circuit that appears to play a crucial role in the placebo effect.
The scientists trained mice by placing them in two connected chambers for a week to expect pain relief upon reaching the second chamber.
The mice displayed fewer behaviors associated with being hurt, such as jumping and paw licking.
