Reporting on Brain Implants for Depression

from WIkimedia Commons, user Andreashorn.
Right now my classmates and I are focusing on how to write a science news article. My first go at this can be found on Scopeweb, which is our program's online publication. It involved diving into research on using deep brain stimulation, a treatment involving a small electrode implanted in the brain, to treat depression. It was fascinating to learn about an area of medical research in which doctors do not agree on where to take the research next, and I'll be interested to follow the story as it evolves.
