Fascinating! Thanks for sharing and explaining

I am missing some context for this article, can someone help me out?
So it mentions Gabapentin being used to treat anxiety and how that affects mice willingness to be in groups. But Gabapentin is also used for nerve issues (right?) So did the researchers use Gabapentin initially for the nervous system, and then unexpectedly found the anxiety effects in terms of group exercise?
