Couldn't sleep so finished writing an article on Medium about Depression and the memory palace technique.

I always enjoy writing about the Method of Loci technique, especially when it comes to using it to learn new information. This will be especially useful now that I'm offically a student with the OU.
Interesting research being carried out by scientists at the University of Missouri into the origins of psychosis. Here a key area of the brain seems to be the striatum an area known to be part of a network involved with feedback. The neurotransmitter dopamine also seems to be part of the issue.
Researchers used fMRI technology to assess the brains of those most at risk fro psychosis and found that the striatum was not activated when the patient received feedback.
This research has also found increased levels of dopamine within the striatum.
