A method for focused ultrasound (FUS) neuromodulation with simultaneous electroencephalogram recordings in awake, head-fixed mice with temporal lobe epilepsy

This study develops a method to apply focused ultrasound neuromodulation in awake, head-fixed mice with temporal lobe epilepsy and evaluates its effects on seizure-like events.

Matching provides efficient decisions

This paper shows that the matching strategy efficiently maximizes reward across diverse decision environments with minimal evaluations.

Remotely controlled drug release in deep brain regionsof non-human primates

This study demonstrates the safe and effective release of drugs in deep brain regions of non-human primates using ultrasound-responsive nanoparticles.

Efficient decision-makers evaluate relative reward per effort

The paper introduces an efficient decision strategy that equalizes reward per effort across options, showing it is optimal with a single evaluation and rational.

Targeted drug release from stable and safe ultrasound-sensitive nanocarriers

This study identifies stable perfluorocarbon nanocarriers and low-frequency ultrasound parameters for effective and safe targeted drug release in non-human primates.

Remote targeted electrical stimulation

This paper demonstrates a noninvasive method called Lstim that uses magnetic and ultrasonic fields to remotely stimulate nerves with high precision, enhancing ultrasound neuromodulation and showing distinct effects on pain and touch responses.

Effective Ultrasonic Stimulation in Human Peripheral Nervous System

This study evaluates ultrasound parameters for effective stimulation of the human peripheral nervous system, finding low frequencies (300 kHz) more effective than high frequencies (900 kHz) for tactile and nociceptive responses.

Acoustic properties across the human skull

The paper measures ultrasound propagation through different skull regions to improve transcranial ultrasound therapy design.

Histologic safety of transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation and magnetic resonance acoustic radiation force imaging in rhesus macaques and sheep

This study evaluates the histologic safety of transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation and MR-ARFI in rhesus macaques and sheep, finding no FUS-related tissue damage.
