title: How knowledge of regional brain dysfunction in depression will enable new somatic treatments in the next millennium.
abstract: New knowledge about the specific brain regions involved in depression is rapidly evolving due to advances in functional neuroimaging techniques. Several new regionally specific somatic interventions build on this modern neuroanatomic information. These latest methods promise to revolutionize the understanding and treatment of depression. This article reviews the past and current use of these techniques, with an eye toward where they are heading in the next century.
