Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open-access journal Environmental Health used weather data from NASA satellites to measure sunlight exposure across the United States and linked this information to the prevalence of cognitive impairment in depressed people.img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrainMysteries/~4/5mDSc_bMbJU" height="1" width="1"/

New research by neuroscientists at UCLA and Rutgers University provides new evidence that a brain imaging technique known as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be used to determine what a person is thinking. However, the research suggests that highly accurate "mind reading" using fMRI is still far from reality. The research will be published in the October 2009 issue of the journal Psychological Science.img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/BrainMysteries/~4/eJAj6zqky44" height="1" width="1"/

I don't cry often and have often wondered why.nbsp; I frequently have depression and feel badly about myself or the way my day is going, but I seldom cry.nbsp; Others who have depression or bipolar disorder cry on a daily basis.nbsp; I wonder why therenbsp;are so manynbsp;differences innbsp;depressednbsp;people's behavior. BRBRMost of us with depression feel sad and many of us feel unmotivated.nbsp; Many of us sleep too much and some of us can't sleep.nbsp; Some of us over eat and a few of us lose our appetites.nbsp; Many of usnbsp;eat all of the time, or binge eat, or have cravings for things like chocolate.nbsp;nbsp; Mental health problems can easily lead tonbsp;having problems with our physical health.nbsp; BRBRRelationships often suffer when one or more persons has depression or bipolar disorder.nbsp; It takes a great deal of tolerance and understanding to keep your relationship with your significant other on an even keel, while battling depression.nbsp; It also requires a lot of love and communication.nbsp; BRBRRecently, someone told me they cry once, every day.nbsp;nbsp; My heart went out to them but I wasn't sure how to respond.nbsp; Since then, I've wondered if a good cry every day would helpnbsp;to release some of the bad feelings and allownbsp;one to go on about the job of living and loving.nbsp; However, I think it would be very hard on a person to cry every day and it makes me sad to think of that happening to someone I care about.nbsp;nbsp;BRBRToday I'd like to wish all of us who have problems with depression, a day without tears.nbsp; nbsp;
