Many of us will have had a tooth pulled in the dentist chair, either under local or general anesthetic, and even with modern medicine, it's not a pleasant experience. So spare a thought for the people who, for millennia, voluntarily had good, healthy front teeth hammered or pulled out – a practice that continued from 4800 BP to the early 1900s. And it was primarily all in the name of beauty.

Manipulating important non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes using light prevented fear memories from being retained long-term, according to new research. The findings add to growing evidence about astrocytes’ role in memory and open the door to potential treatments for conditions like PTSD, which is characterized by abnormal fear memory.
