Self-Stimulation

Seeing as how I am working at a psychology publication these days, I may be posting more quirky stories on human behavior. To start, check this out:

“A 48-year-old woman with a stimulating electrode implanted in her right ventral thalamus started to compulsively self-stimulate when she discovered that it could produce erotic sensations.”

I mean, how awesome would that be? (Actually, it’s not as you can see it led to a real problem in this woman’s productive life, but you get my sentiments.)
