Nat Med︱ relieves severe depression in a few minutes, affecting 260 million people

Source ︱ BrainUp Editor ︱ Logic Neuroscience Depression is the most common mental illness, affecting more than 260 million people worldwide
.

 However, it corresponds to a cruel reality-30% of patients do not respond to standard treatments such as drugs or psychotherapy, but this situation is expected to be changed
.

 Scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, the Dolby Family Mood Disorder Center, and the Weir Institute for Neuroscience have demonstrated a new personalized neuromodulation method that can alleviate the symptoms of severe depression within minutes
.

 They found that stimulation in different parts of the brain can relieve symptoms of brain diseases, reduce anxiety, increase energy levels, or restore pleasure in daily activities
.

Katherine Scangos, MD, who is in charge of the research, said: "The brain is like an electronic organ like the heart.
More and more diseases caused by brain network failures can be transformed into a healthier state through targeted stimulation.

At present, the recognition rate of depression in our country is low, and medical treatment is not perfect.
I hope that brain-computer interface technology can help more people and families to get rid of depression

Did you know that living things may go to sleep without a brain? Researchers have discovered that a small freshwater animal called hydra has a sleep-like state.
This animal has a simple anatomical structure and no brain
.

They found that Hydra has a cycle of activity and sleep, each cycle lasting about 4 hours
.

Hydra’s sleep state, the original picture of the paper.
Moreover, vibration or temperature changes can disrupt the hydra’s sleep state, leading to signs of sleep deprivation-for example, the hydra needs longer sleep afterwards and shows reduced cell growth
.

 This research has enlightening significance for us to understand the reasons for the evolution of sleep needs.
