家里有医保卡的赶紧扔！包治百病的医学界神药—Amylopectin！

「安慰剂」在新药研发过程中处处可见，amylose 和 amylopectin是安慰剂糖丸的主要成分，其实就是淀粉（标题注释）。

安慰剂效应究竟是应该被消除的统计噪声，还是一种被低估的真实治疗机制？当一针生理盐水能让帕金森患者的大脑释放出与真药相当的多巴胺，当假手术的疗效与真手术完全持平。我们要回答的问题是：如果安慰剂这么强，新药研发的投入还有意义吗？如果安慰剂能治病，我们可以只给病人吃糖丸吗？这期节目我们一起聊聊安慰剂效应在大脑中究竟通过哪些神经通路起效；它为什么越来越强以至于成为新药研发的障碍；我们可以只用安慰剂来治病吗？
