8. Alternative transcranial light therapy devices
They cannot reach the hippocampus – key for memory function
Expensive and very hard to use

13. The Default Mode Network is Important
Lateral and medial view of the default-mode network of the left hemisphereThe medial regions of the default-mode network are connected through the cingulum, whereas the inferior parietal cortex is connected to the precuneus and posterior cingulate cortex through a short intraparietal tract. The tracts are reconstructed using diffusion tensor imaging tractography.
