Wed, 03 Sep 2008 07:21:23 PDT
I posted yesterday about BackType and, spending some more time with it, I am really excited about the one thing I think is most important about this tool above all else: Discovery! Yesterday I talked about how you can find new blogs by following some movers and shakers in your niche with BackType. You follow on BackType just like Twitter.

DCI, Highway Africa, UP Journalism Course, Cracking the Digital Code
Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:21:46 PDT

Update on Deep Brain Stimulation The Corpus Callosum]
Wed, 03 Sep 2008 07:32:48 PDT
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) currently is under investigation for treatment of sever, treatment-resistant depression (TRD). It is not really news. I wrote about it in 2005. The background information in the earlier post still is pertinent, so I won't repeat that now. Briefly, though, the treatment consists of surgical implantation of a pacemaker-like device. The device has wires that go into the brain (area 25, the subgenual cingulate area). The study reported in 2005 was promising, but
