This new way of treating depression starts with rewiring the brain #TEDTalks
The idea that depression comes from a chemical imbalance in the brain has shaped treatment for decades. Neuroscientist Lisa Monteggia shares research suggesting that’s not the whole story — and shows how a decades-old drug could upend what we thought we knew about depression, with the potential to offer relief within hours.

I love restaurants that have traditions and passion handed down from father to son. These are values to be greatly appreciated and they are exactly the things I try to get people to like in my channel. Great TED! and then I love Chinese food. Greetings from Italy????????

So that’s how you do it. I will never be able to replicate. Did I miss something, the name of your restaurant?

If only the food tasted like real Chinese food rather than altered to fit with the country it is being served in. UK Chinese food is nothing like real Chinese food.

I loved Chinese kid as a kid but as an adult I much prefer Thai, I think they use less sugar. I also learned to prefer the Chinese dishes that aren’t so sugar heavy, I sometimes wonder if the sugar dishes are mostly in the US.

Just got back from running errands and funny enough the Panda Express was packed with High School kids, so I went to Cafe Rio. Almost everyone in the Cafe Rio was over 30.

@Jeff K in the UK the Chinese food is excessively sweet but it’s also very oily. I have eaten Panda Express when I lived in the states and yes that is very sweet as alot of American foods are, or excessively salty. But being married to someone from Taiwan and having visited China many times I can appreciate what real Chinese food is like and it is so much better.

Chinese food is always superior to fast food. Fast food is always corporate pablum that is engineered to be exactly the same wherever you get it, but when you order Chinese food, you get a version of the dish that is unique and special.

That was exactly what I was thinking about these days. In Germany most of the Chinese restaurants serve cheap and fast food. There ist no combining, no adding flavor. Only opening a frozen bag of fried food and heating it up in a wok. I really got sad by realizing this. Because Chinese food is so much more. It’s got nothing to do with what you get here around in most of the restaurants.
It’s great seeing someone talking with so much passion about his roots, his hometown, his family. I would really love to see more of those traditional Chinese restaurants here in Germany. ????❤

Honestly the best one I’ve ever watched on Ted, not that it talks about sophisticated ways to improve your life, which is not bad at all of course, but it’s just heartwarming and so satisfying.

I can’t love this talk show any less than the ones I viewed previously. The man cooked a dish of fried rice while he’s giving a speech ^^ His cooking was surely professional, the way he managed to stir the rice and ingredients in that WOK, and when he tossed all that into the cooking turner. I just couldn’t resist to taste the fired rice he made ^^
