They say these results may have implications for people's ability to limit their intake of
certain kinds of foods, because the
brain's reward
circuitry is similar in all mammals.
The observation of different coping mechanisms led the team to probe the animals»
brains, where they discovered that the level of a
certain protein in its reward
circuitry determines whether the mice will be traumatized for several weeks or only temporarily down.
