How are focal lesions used to treat symptoms of depression |
Small areas of brain tissue that are surgically destroyed, generally areas that are overactive in the disorder. In depression can be used to destroy a targeted cluster of cells in the anterior cingulate cortex (overactive in depression.) |

What is electroconvulsive therapy? |
A psychiatric treatment in which an electrical current is passed through the brain to induce a temporary seizure. This is done under anesthesia and a dose of muscle relaxants, which protects the patient from potentially harmful tremors. |

hat is repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation? What psychological disorder has it been used to treat? |
A therapeutic technique in which a focal area of the brain is exposed to a powerful magnetic field across several different treatment sessions. Has been used to treat depression and schizophrenia. |
