Scientists zap brains to map emotions
NCT ID NCT05292183
Summary
This study explored how tiny, painless electrical pulses to a specific brain area (the amygdala) affect how people process emotions. Sixteen patients with severe epilepsy, who already had electrodes implanted for medical evaluation, viewed emotional images while researchers recorded brain activity and delivered stimulation. The goal was to understand if this approach could one day help treat conditions like PTSD or memory disorders.
