Dr. Amen says‚ “One size does not fit all: what works for one person with addiction may not work for another‚ or could even make the symptoms worse!” It’s an exciting time in the addiction recovery field with all the advances in neuroscience‚ technology‚ treatment‚ recovery coaching‚ and aftercare.

I chose "Secrets of the Brain" by Carl Zimmer because it seems so interesting to learn how our brain works. In this article‚ Carl Zimmer writes about how our brain really works by taking the journey and witness it by having a brain imaging done on him. He goes to Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging in Boston Harbor to perform this procedure. This procedure is called an "MRI" scan. Zimmer describes his experience during the scan and scientifically breaks down what is happening during the scan.
