Gamma Rays for the Brain

Tumors or other abnormalities deep inside the brain can be difficult to treat through conventional surgery. If left alone, they can result in breathing problems and other life-threatening complications. On this program, we explore an advanced tool called gamma knife radiotherapy that allows doctors to target and neutralize such growths with precisely concentrated doses of radiation. We also share breathing techniques developed in Japanese Zen Buddhism that reduce stress by promoting the secretion of serotonin.
