Formatting depression

Here a fascinating experiment, conducted with little cuddly mice. Jerry no longer needs to be depressed if Tom is bullying him because all Jerry needs is a molecular therapy.

According to Reuters, depressed mice have become more sociable when researchers delete a memory molecule from their brain.

By deleting a specific molecule, the mice were never depressed and fearful, especially when conditions were set up where normally the mouse would run and hide.

But this would also mean that Jerry would face Tom’s harassment which would ultimately be the end for Jerry…

According to scientists, these findings could potentially help depressed / traumatised humans – read here for the full story.
