NDS professor Tipu Aziz appeared on BBC National news to speak about the pioneering surgery he delivered to a British woman who has had electrodes placed deep inside her brain in an experimental operation to help cure her of anorexia. Wires carrying electricity were connected to parts of her brain that register her feeling of reward when she eats.
