Scientists have developed a brain test predicts a person’s ability to achieve orgasm
So far the study has only targeted patients taking antidepressants.
There is no test for who might experience sexual problems during treatment for depression.
But the new discovery may help people to choose antidepressants which allow them to maintain or regain an active sex life.
The ability of patients taking antidepressants to have an erection or to orgasm is related to the levels of serotonin in the brain.
A range called SSRI , which stands for Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor, which includes Prozac, are often associated with sexual side-effects.
There has previously been no way of predicting these side effects in advance.
Difficulty reaching orgasm is a common side effect, as are reduced desire and difficulty maintaining an erection.
These side effects can affect up to 70% of patients taking SSRI medications and often leading to people stopping treatment.
A team in Denmark, studied 90 people who had been diagnosed with depression.
They measured brain serotonin activity using a special EEG test called LDAEP or Loudness Dependence of Auditory Evoked Potentials.
It is like a hearing test but reveals how the brain processes sound.
It also reveals details of serotonin levels in the brain - the lower the LDAEP, the higher the serotonin activity.
OPS: A researcher wearing the high-density headset for LDAEP. The headset comprises 256 electrodes, plus earphones; these can give sound tones ranging from around 60dB (which is as loud as a conversation) to 100dB (as loud as a loud hairdryer).

Sweat patch measures bipolar drug levels to avoid overdose

Bipolar 1

A wearable sensor could vastly improve treatment and drug safety for millions of patients with bipolar disorder simply through sweat levels.
The medication lithium is a highly effective treatment for bipolar disorder.
But too high a dose can be toxic to patients, causing kidney damage, thyroid damage or even death, while too low a dose renders the treatment ineffective.
The dose required varies between individuals based on body weight, diet and other physiological factors.
Lithium levels in the blood need constant monitoring currently done by lab investigations of blood samples
The wearable includes a skin-safe system to induce sweat without requiring physical exertion.
In just minutes, the device collects data, which is transmitted directly to a smartphone app, allowing patients to track their lithium levels from the comfort of their own homes.
It uses organic electrochemical transistors which are electronic devices that respond to atoms or molecules in liquid, converting them into readable electronic data.
A team at the USA’s University of Southern California created one of these devices using a novel material formulation tailored to detect lithium specifically.
