We're excited to announce the launch of "The Deep End," a new #podcast from Science News! Demystifying depression, piquing curiosity about brain science, and inviting wonder about how our brains create our minds, host and veteran neuroscience reporter Laura Sanders will also share the stories of people helping to test deep brain stimulation, a cutting edge treatment. Through her reporting, Laura provides a thorough exploration of deep brain stimulation, which relies on permanent wires implanted into very specific regions of a patient’s brain in an attempt to change the electrical signals there and eliminate their suffering. This podcast was produced with support from PRX, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund. The first episode arrives on Monday, February 10. https://lnkd.in/edG3Kpr3
