This paper develops an acoustic transparency method using a chelating agent to enable functional ultrasound imaging through mouse and human skulls.

This paper introduces sonogenetic-fPET, a technique that noninvasively modulates genetically targeted neural populations and maps their global effects using FDG-fPET.

The paper engineers hTRPV4 to create an ultrasound-sensitive actuator for sonogenetics, showing improved mechano-sensitivity and reduced sensitivity to other stimuli.

This paper demonstrates that TRPV1 can be used for noninvasive, cell-type specific, and spatiotemporally controlled modulation of mammalian brain activity using focused ultrasound.
