This study shows ultrasound can inhibit or potentiate firing in hippocampal neurons depending on firing frequency, explained by increased potassium conductance.

The paper investigates how ultrasound at 43 MHz affects Piezo1 and NaV1.2 channels, finding that Piezo1 is activated by acoustic streaming while NaV1.2 is not directly affected but may be influenced by heating.

This study identifies radiation force as the physical mechanism of ultrasonic neurostimulation in ex vivo salamander retina, showing frequency-dependent stimulation and standing wave effects.
