Could the best painkiller actually be found inside us? According to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, nostalgia could help reduce pain or everyday ailments.

This phenomenon highlights the essential role of the thalamus, a brain area. "The thalamus plays a key role as a central functional linkage in the analgesic effect," said first author Dr. Zhang Ming.
