Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how stopping antidepressant medicine affects a part of the brain called the amygdala that reacts to sad or negative faces.
- It aimed to find out if this change in brain activity is connected to people becoming depressed again after they stop taking their medication.
- The research involved tracking 83 patients who had previously been treated for depression and monitored them for 6 months after they stopped their meds to see if they relapsed into depression.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses the latest research on the surfaces and thin atmospheres of the icy Galilean moons Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto, revealing insights from past and ongoing space missions, as well as recent telescopic data.
- - It highlights how the surface geology of these moons indicates their evolution and internal heating due to tidal interactions, while surface compositions may suggest potential shallow liquid water environments linked to deeper oceans.
- - The article outlines the objectives of the ESA JUICE mission to thoroughly investigate these moons, focusing on their tenuous atmospheres, the unexplored water vapor plumes of Europa, and includes predicted trajectory maps for future observations.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of a novel method for occipitocervical fixation (OCF) through the endonasal corridor.
Methods: Thin-cut computed tomography scans were obtained for 5 cadaveric specimens. Image segmentation was used to reconstruct 3D models of each O-C1 joint complex.
Measuring the electrically evoked stapedius reflex during the fitting of cochlear implants (CIs) provides a reliable estimation of maximum comfort levels, resulting in the programming of the CI with high hearing comfort and good speech understanding. Detection of the stapedius reflex and the required stimulation level on each implant channel is already being performed during surgery, whereby intraoperative stapedius reflexes are observed through the surgical microscope. Intraoperative stapedius reflex detection is both an indicator that the auditory nerve is responding to electrical stimulation up to the brainstem and a test for the ability to perform postoperative stapedius reflex measurements.

While the available therapies are numerous, key strategies often involve cognitive and/or embodiment techniques. Within body-centered methods, breathing-oriented approaches are particularly prevalent, using either attention towards or active control of breathing.
