FIGHTING DEPRESSION with electrical brain stimulation: “People with otherwise untreatable depression improved in a small clinical trial after receiving electrical stimulation of a part of the brain that scientists believe regulates sadness.

The benefits were sustained over the course of the one-year study, researchers said.”
