The River of Doubt
Theodore Roosevelt was once Americas youngest president. He was admired a lot as a child. He set out on this journey in the December of 1913. He carried a dose of morphine with him for years. When he was on this journey he got very ill with malaria. One night he was laying on his rusted cot and he concluded that the time had come to take his own life, he did not go any farther with this thought. He got malaria by slicing his leg on a boulder. He set sail for South America in the fall of 1913, this was not quite a year after his failed attempt to become president again. When Roosevelt reached Brazil the country's foreign minister offered him a chance to explore the Rio da Duvida (The River of Doubt), this was a chance for redemption. This journey nearly killed Theodore.

Emerging Technology : [TR10: Neuron Control]
Karl Deisseroth's genetically engineered "light switch," which lets scientists turn selected parts of the brain on and off, may help improve treatments for depression and other disorders. http://www.technologyreview.com/read_article.aspx?ch=specialsections&sc=emerging&id=18289
The technology could one day lead to precisely targeted treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders.
The technology could one day lead to precisely targeted treatments for psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Deisseroth is using this genetic light switch to study the biological basis of depression. Working with a group of rats that show symptoms similar to those seen in depressed humans, researchers in his lab have inserted the switch into neurons in different brain areas implicated in depression. . Deisseroth says the findings should help scientists develop better antidepressantsDeisseroth hopes his technology will one day become not just a research tool but a treatment in itself, used alongside therapies that electrically stimulate large areas of the brain to treat depression or Parkinson's disease. By activating only specific neurons, a specially engineered light switch could limit those therapies' side effects.
