Neurofeedback shows promise for addressing ‘chemo brain’ in UCLA pilot study The pilot study is one of the first to indicate that neurofeedback could help address cognitive deficits of cancer patients experiencing “chemo brain."

On October 13th, the filmmaker and actor Mark Duplass posted a photo of himself on Instagram—what looked like a red-carpet closeup, with a bow tie on his neck and a forced smile on his face. “I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for most of my life,” Duplass wrote in the caption. Supportive comments poured in, from the likes of Glenn Close, Carson Daly, and Jennifer Aniston—Duplass’s co-star on “The Morning Show”—as well as thousands of non-famous followers moved by his uncommon rawness. In the following weeks, Duplass posted apprehensive selfies, with real-time updates on his depressive episode. “There was a small part of me that felt, Oh, Mark, don’t turn yourself into the ambassador for this while you’re going through it, because that’s a lot of pressure,” Duplass says, in a new interview. “But the most basic emotion I got from it was: Here’s the community. You’re not alone.” Read a new interview with Duplass on the ups and downs of depression and his new role as a mental-health advocate: http://nyer.cm/89GEYQ7
