Effective new target for mood-boosting brain stimulation found

Researchers have found an effective target in the brain for electrical stimulation to improve mood in people suffering from depression. As reported in the journal Current Biology on November 29, stimulation of a brain region called the lateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) reliably produced acute improvement in mood in patients who suffered from depression at the start of the study.

Those effects were not seen in patients without mood symptoms, suggesting that the brain stimulation works to normalize activity in mood-related neural circuitry, the researchers say.

“Stimulation induced a pattern of activity in brain regions connected to OFC that was similar to patterns seen when patients naturally experienced positive mood states,” says Vikram Rao, of the University of California, San Francisco. “Our findings suggest that OFC is a promising new stimulation target for treatment of mood disorders.”

With Blockchain, Ocean Plastic Has Met Its Bottleneck.

With blockchain, ocean plastic has met its bottleneck.

What’s a great way to celebrate World Oceans Day? Honor the people and businesses working to save our oceans. One company’s solution is simple—Plastic Bank is incentivizing people to keep plastic on land by turning it into a new kind of currency. In developing countries, locals can bring their plastic waste to a collection center and trade it for digital tokens leveraging IBM Blockchain technology that can be exchanged for goods from participating merchants. In regions where bank accounts are rare, and crime and corruption are prevalent, Plastic Bank’s blockchain-powered currency offers a secure, portable alternative. With their mission to keep oceans clean while financially empowering communities, Plastic Bank is more than deserving of World Oceans Day accolades.
