Now you may think twice before having a common painkiller to get instant relief from your pain because a new study has revealed that painkiller can hinder your brain growth.
University of Toronto research, written by a team including postdoctoral student Dan Randles and researchers from the University of British Columbia, is the first neurological study to look at how the painkiller acetaminophen (Tylenol) may inhibit the response of the brain associated with manufacturing error.
To test the idea of two groups of 30 they were given a target detection task call Go or not go. Participants were asked to hit a Go button whenever the letter F displayed on a screen, but refrain from pressing the button if an E appeared on the screen.
The research is published in the journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience.
