Flip of a switch’: Scientists 'cure' alcoholism in rats by firing lasers at their brains
Rats have been cured of alcoholism by having laser beams blasted at their brains, ending their dependency with a “flip of a switch,” exciting new research has revealed.

Scientists from Scripps Research fired lasers at specific neurons in the alcohol-addicted rat brains, which rid the rats of the desire to drink, as well as reducing the physical symptoms associated with alcohol withdrawal.

As soon as the lasers were turned off, however, the addiction symptoms would return.

Should have tried it on human addicts instead of animal ones.

Great news if it can cure addiction though, it will be an amazing breakthrough.

Whose brilliant idea was it to try this?


Seriously, who was the knucklehead that said if we just fire lasers into the brains of rats, we might break them of alcoholism???

Then we can try it on HUMANS

Not just an implant. They were also transfected with an AAV virus designed to genetically manipulate the cells so that they could be inhibited by the laser. It's not as simple as the headline makes it sound.
