I think that may be true of the rodents, but AFAIK there’s no evidence of this in humans. It’s a huge leap to say an effect that happens in mice in the lab, or even in mice in nature can happen in humans. You really can’t directly extrapolate from one species to the other, or that high up the neurological complexity ladder without direct evidence to give you reason to. Unfortunately pop science reporting loves to extrapolate these kinds of things, which is why a lot of people have wrong ideas about a lot of medical things, unfortunately.
