Ultrasonic local anesthetic uncaging enables noninvasive, targeted, and transient knock-out of brain function

This paper demonstrates SonoRopi, a noninvasive method using ultrasound to transiently inhibit brain function in mice and rats.

Ultrasonic potentiation of ketamine neuromodulation

This paper shows that focused ultrasound enhances ketamine's neuromodulatory effects, with localized delivery via SonoKet achieving greater neurotransmitter changes at lower doses.

Ibogaine is associated with reorganization of high-beta brain networks in veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder

This study shows that ibogaine treatment in PTSD veterans is linked to reorganization of high-beta brain networks, which correlates with symptom improvement.

Ethological profiling of pain and analgesia in a mouse model of complex regional pain syndrome.

This study identifies a unique ethological signature of pain in a mouse model of CRPS and evaluates the effects of dexmedetomidine on pain behaviors.

Ultrasonic cerebrospinal fluid clearance improves outcomes in hemorrhagic brain injury models

This paper demonstrates that low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound improves outcomes in hemorrhagic brain injury models by clearing harmful substances via the meningeal lymphatic system.

Sex dependence of opioid-mediated responses to subanesthetic ketamine

The paper shows that subanesthetic ketamine induces opioid-dependent neurophysiological and behavioral effects in male, but not female, rats.
