The mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 contributes to ultrasound neuromodulation

Jiejun Zhu, Quanxiang Xian, Xuandi Hou, Kin Fung Wong, Tingting Zhu, Zihao Chen, Dongming He, Shashwati Kala, Suresh Murugappan, Jianing Jing, Yong Wu, Xinyi Zhao, Danni Li, Jinghui Guo, Zhihai Qiu, Lei Sun

This study shows that Piezo1 mediates ultrasound neuromodulation in the brain by demonstrating reduced neuronal responses in Piezo1 knockout mice.
