Scientists scan brains on laughing gas to unlock pain and memory secrets
NCT ID NCT06702631
Summary
This study aims to understand how low doses of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) affect how the brain processes pain and forms memories. Researchers will use MRI brain scans on 60 healthy volunteers while they perform tasks involving mild pain, both with and without the gas. The goal is to fill a knowledge gap about how this common anesthetic works in the brain, not to provide any treatment.
