This study investigates the effects of multi-focal ultrasound neuromodulation on the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (dACC) in healthy participants, finding delayed analgesic effects and altered neural connectivity related to pain processing.

This study uses ultrasound neuromodulation to show that the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and anterior insula have distinct roles in Pavlovian biases: aIns reduces reward credit-taking and punishment ignoring, while dACC increases cue valence as reinforcer signal.

This study shows that non-invasive ultrasound stimulation of the human nucleus accumbens affects reward processing and learning, similar to deep brain stimulation.

The paper shows that different analysis workflows by 70 teams on the same fMRI dataset led to varied results, but meta-analysis found consensus in activated regions.
