Brain Imaging increasingly helps us to shatter silences because it 
shows the brain’s extravagance in sharp pictures and yields new secrets about success possibilities….
Today I read an article by Joe Fahy, from April 5th, 2006 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, that showed another way brain imaging is able to detect problems and predict therapy for depression.
The gist of the study from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine was that depressed patients were shown words with negative connotations, such as "guilt," and asked if the words applied to them. Most people who reacted positively to cognitive behavioral therapy showed decreased activity in their cingulate cortex when shown the negative words. Good news... because experts now see where therapy is working well … and because they can measure patients’ success rates … plans for a larger study are already underway. Daily we see similar results because brain imaging is shattering silences about the brain….
What do you think…?
