The doctors base their theory on experiments in which Neurosurgeon Zervas produced massive strokes in 13 monkeys by cutting off blood flow-and thus oxygen-to the left sides of their brains. Examining the brains afterward, he and Wurtman found that there were dramatic changes in the levels of dopamine...
