一则新闻：

民众越活越长，社保领取的年龄却越来越退后，物价越涨越高，税却越交越多，真不知道究竟该活的长点好还是短点儿好了 ：）

我今天早上才看到的这个，有医生们在讨论这个和阉割的区别 ：）

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Stereotactic neurosurgery is a well-developed and accepted treatment for movement disorders like Parkinson's disease.

OBJECTIVE:

Review use of this neurosurgical intervention to treat drug addiction since the 1960s.

METHODS:

Literature review of case and series reports.

RESULTS:

Stereotactic neurosurgery has shown promising results in reducing drug addiction, but it has also caused severe side effects. Thus, surgeons have sought to refine the stereotactic lesion procedure and its target over the past 50 years.

CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE:

Recent developments in stereotactic technique and deep brain stimulation (DBS) may make stereotactic neurosurgery a viable and reversible treatment for drug addiction.
