psychlover-- Thanks for the link! (And for posting it over here, too.)
If anybody wants the citation/abstract of the study, it's:
"Modulation of Cortical-Limbic Pathways in Major Depression: Treatment-Specific Effects of Cognitive Behavior Therapy" by Kimberly Goldapple, Zindel Segal, and others.
Archives of General Psychiatry (2004) 61:34-41
http://archpsyc.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/abstract/61/1/34When my ECT psychiatrist looked at my first high-tech brain images for depression in the late 1980s, he said, "That's beautiful! But nobody in the world knows what it means." I think that's still true, but the research is apparently coming along.
