Playing a fun video game with strangers also have same effect with the use of drugs, said Canadian and American research team that published their finding in the journal Current Biology.

Studies conducted previously demonstrated that the ability to feel suffering or pain experienced by others not only of humans, mice can also feels empathy. However, in both species, strong feelings of empathy arise among those who know each other and there is absolutely no otherwise know each other.

Stress levels are also seen soaring both in mice and humans when they are dealing with are not they recognize. In this study, the researchers gave stress blocker drug to mice and observe the response when faced with other mice that were in pain.

They found that mice become more empathetic and more generous to mice that did not recognize and react in a way that is usually like when dealing with mices whom are familiar. When mices were allowed to stress again, the mice became less empathetic to mice in pain.

The same test is done to the students to use the same drug and showed exactly the same effect, the study said.

Dr. Jeffrey Mogil, the authors of this study report which is also the nervous system expert from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, said that his team discovery signaled that stress systems in the brain can "veto" system of our empathy.

"But not many people are aware that there is a stress response when we were in the room together with people we do not know," said Mogil.

Mogil also discovered that the secret to reducing stress levels quickly is to play the game ice breaker. In the study, number of students who do not know each other, playing fun video games that require them to work together.

"When testing is done, there is no more stress," said Mogil.
