  Oh great, we’ve taken a perfectly good mouse and given it social anxiety! :(

  (Sarcasm/joking aside, this is pretty neat and hopefully this research eventually ends up helping people with sm social anxiety)

  That’s pretty cool if that means a change in diet can be a viable treatment

  Does this mean that all the vermin in my local sewer are socially anxious too? Fuck, I didn’t mean to fuck all those little critters up too. Now I’ve got pooping anxiety haha
