In 1997, I proposed (on another Internet forum - alt.support.depression) that various compounds, including therapeutic drugs, could be used as biological probes to determine choices of psychotropic drugs to treat mental illness based upon their effect on brain activity as detected through PET scans. I was laughed at then. Pretty cool, eh?
