Using Deep Brain Stimulation on the Mind: Handle with Care
<http://email.dana.org/c.html?rtr=on&s=awru,hqq0,594,6me7,esjt,dlq4,m3a0> 


By Mahlon R. DeLong, M.D.


The success of deep brain stimulation in treating movement disorders has led
to investigations of its use for psychiatric illnesses. While the technique
shows early promise in the treatment of depression and obsessive-compulsive
disorder, Dr. Mahlon DeLong, M.D., a pioneer in the field, cautions both
doctors and patients to be aware of the risks in using this promising but
still unproven method of mind alteration.

The Neuro Revolution: How Brain Science Is Changing Our World
<http://email.dana.org/c.html?rtr=on&s=awru,hqq0,594,7ga4,f6r4,dlq4,m3a0> 


By Zack Lynch, with Byron Laursen


St. Martin's Press, 2009



Reviewed by Michael F. Huerta, Ph.D.


The Neuro Revolution, by Zack Lynch, explores how neurotechnological
advances push humanity toward greater heights and greater responsibilities,
shaping our societies and our world. In his review, Dr. Michael F. Huerta, a
lead neurotechnology researcher at the National Institutes of Health,
compliments Lynch's ability to balance his excitement for the future with
the need to remain within the realm of scientific probability.
