Congrats, Matt and team! 🔥 🍾
Stoked that @bakspace.bsky.social and I could collab w yall 👇🏼
Activity capture + chemogenetic reactivation of a placebo analgesia ensemble in the vlPAG is sufficient to drive pain relief on demand … via input from mPFC and outputs to RVM !

Excited to share our new study on how the brain generates placebo pain relief!
We developed a mouse model that recapitulates key features of human placebo analgesia, then used it to identify causal circuitry.

Scientists have identified the brain circuits tied to placebo pain relief. Researchers have known that placebo effects can be a powerful treatment, yet the underlying neurological mechanisms have not ...
