Placebo analgesia is well documented in human populations but remains relatively under-researched in rodent models. Now researchers have engineered robust circuit-based placebo analgesia in mice and identified pathways mediating the effect of expectations, offering new insights into harnessing placebo for pain management.
安慰剂镇痛在人类群体中已有充分的记录，但在啮齿动物模型中仍相对研究不足。现在，研究人员已经在小鼠中设计了基于电路的强大安慰剂镇痛，并确定了介导预期效应的途径，为利用安慰剂进行疼痛管理提供了新的见解。
