Paris Mice
McGill University neuroscientists have discovered that a "Simple Life" cardboard cutout of the heiress has proven to reduce pain in male mice. Exposure to Paris' likeness actually lowered the expression of a gene called c-fos, which transmits pain signals to the brain.

This suggests that there is reduced neural activity in the mice, not unlike the reduced activity in the brain of Hilton herself.
