Let me add a few points to clarify and avoid misunderstandings, mostly for the lay public: 1) There is no "placebo effect" in mice, and therefore, the results are real 2) When no voltage (or current) is applied, there is no effect 3) When the current is applied in a non-acupoint, there is no effect 4) Please be aware that many promising results in mice do not work with humans
