COMBINATORIAL CHEMISTRY MAY LEAD TO LOTS OF COMEDY!
MRI may be used to find a good herb for depression (depressed persons come out of the MRI machine laughing and joking) by finding what part of the brain is stimulated and then rapidly custom engineering a drug that would cause the same change in the brain the MRI does if the change is simple or perhaps more complex. The chemical would be engineered fast by combinatorial chemistry (this is where they take a batch of chemical building blocks that are already of promise, combining them rapidly, and then using criteria (this time, it heats up the part of the brain the way the MRI does, chemically and so on)) to select to find the best compounds and, then repeat this same process of "theory and research" to rapidly 0 in on the compounds of value. This may perhaps cure depression, of major import to the economy.
