Article Synopsis
- The study investigates sex differences in the placebo effect on nausea using EEG to understand the brain mechanisms involved in men and women.
- Ninety healthy participants experienced nausea from a visual stimulus, with one group receiving a placebo treatment of sham acupuncture and the other receiving no treatment.
- Results showed that the placebo group had less anticipatory nausea, with women displaying decreased brain activation in certain areas and men showing increased activation in different regions, indicating distinct neurological pathways for the placebo effect based on sex.
