Ancient DNA provides a direct look at the genomes of individuals who lived closer in time to these events, allowing researchers to observe evolutionary changes before they were lost.

By engaging the parasympathetic nervous system, the team observed that inflammation could be eased by inhibiting SUMOylation, a cellular process that shapes immune response.

In experiments carried out on cell cultures under special conditions, over 85 % of a breast cancer cell culture died off after 72 hours while no cytotoxicity was observed for a healthy cell culture.

After six weeks, the researchers observed a drop in IL 8 levels of 53 per cent, and this effect increased by 63 per cent after another 12 weeks.

The team's next research phase will explore whether these observed brain changes could predict psychosis development, potentially enabling earlier intervention.
