Ted Talks, electroshock therapy
Modern ECT is very safe. It probably has its effect by increasing brain levels of norepinephrine and dopamine. Many anti-depressants, such as Effexor, mainly target norepinephrine pharmacologically.
The main side-effect of ECT therapy is short-term memory loss. This brings up a whole new interesting subject, the physiology of short-term versus long-term memory. They are processed differently by the brain. ECT affects one, but typically not the other.
There is a high relapse rate after ECT and that is something people need to know. I think it approaches 50%.

Accept or reject at your discretion. Prog rockers walk the edge of weirdness. Sometimes they fall over the edge. Sometimes they hit the mark and when they do it's sweet.

Clipping a cerebral aneurysm
Coiling a cerebral aneurysm
Coiling a cerebral aneurysm
What is really neat about these procedures is how the interventional radiologists can manipulate those little guidewires up through all the twists and turns and into an aneurysm. They squirt some radio-opaque dye into the cerebral circulation and take an X-ray to see the vessels (angiogram). This image is stored and serves as a "roadmap" to where they need to go. Deploying coils into a broad necked aneurysm can be a little disconcerting. If the coil pops out of the aneurysm prematurely, it will flow downstream into the cerebral vessel, occlude it, and probably result in a stroke. That's why some aneurysms still have to be surgically clipped. Sometimes the structure of the aneurysm is just not right or safe for deployment of coils.

One of my comments on a Sift about "Why campaign against religion."
"I'm impressed by the amount of vitriol against religion on the Sift. I guess many of you haven't had the good fortune to be involved in moderate, religious activism. That is, activism that's about helping people less fortunate than ourselves without trying to whack them on the head with a crucifix. I'm a religious scientist. People here act as if the two are mutually exclusive, whereas they most certainly are not, Einstein being a notable example (not necessarily ascribing to an organized faith, but rather belief in a supreme diety.) Same with Brian Greene of string theory.
The people I worship with wear blue jeans, we play loud rock and roll music and we actively provide charity to Rwanda. When you lump Christians, Muslims, etc. into the same mold you display all the prejudice you rail against. Sorry, but true."

The difference being the Magic Band, while relishing in discord and dissonance, were fabulous musicians.
