firing of neuronal centers and activation of the circuits in either case the fup will modify physiological properties in the circuits this will happen both when the fup is applied to the centers and when the fup is applied to the white matter repeated application of the fup to neuronal circuits will cause long term or permanent changes to the circuits the modification of the circuits using fup will be used for the treatment of psychiatric neurological and neuroendocrine disorders examples of such diseases include but are not limited to obsessive compulsive disorder and its spectrum post traumatic stress disorder depression bipolar disorder social anxiety disorder psychotic disorders panic disorder ticks chronic pain syndrome insomnia chronic fatigue syndrome insomnia stress obesity and other conditions apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art this will be done by repeated assessment and modification of changes in neuronal flow or field activity under the guidance of specific brain imaging techniques such as fmri v eeg or pet fig3 illustrates the fup being used in conjunction with a fmri system the fmri system is preferably a typical ge build cylindrical magnet 4 the patient 5 preferably lies on a sliding platform 6 inside of the magnetic cavity 7 the imaging coil 8 which has been placed over the head of the patient detects the magnetic resonance field generated by rotation of the magnet 4 the field signals detected by the imaging coil are preferably transmitted to the processing.
