The lower rate could help the brain get by on less oxygen and fewer nutrients, thereby lengthening to as much as 12 hours the amount of time doctors have to re-establish normal blood flow...
Recently, positron-emission tomography (PET) scan studies at the UCLA School of Medicine have revealed that either Prozac or cognitive therapy can actually restore normal function in the obsessive-compulsive brain.

The caudate nucleus normally acts as a gatekeeper, determining which thoughts, feelings and behaviors take priority. When it malfunctions, the "worry inputs" generated in the orbital prefrontal region...
