I think it's amazing how little is known with regard to actual brain functionality. And, fascinating to watch how research in this area of medical science unfolds.

CPO Tim Dickey I wonder what pre identifiers were used to determine which children are at risk for developing depression. The technique of Brain mapping diagnosis a number of different disorders.

CPT (Join to see), it might be a simple protein identifier or some other fairly traceable biologic deposit that doesn't show in a healthy scan.

CPO Tim Dickey Brain mapping records the electrical activity (brain waves).in the brain. When conditions such as depression exist the normal activity is disrupted by natural inhibitors that are released. When this happens the brain locks itself into a "particular electro-chemical pattern" creating a variation in brain waves that is detectable.

That could be very useful if both true and at reasonable cost CPO Tim Dickey. Otherwise these brain scans would be limited to the wealthy and well-connected.
