PhysiofUS : a tissue-motion based method for heart and breathing rate assessment in neurofunctional ultrasound imaging

PhysiofUS uses ultrafast ultrasound to automatically detect heart and breathing rates from tissue motion in rodents and human neonates, validated against gold-standard electrodes.

C-section and systemic inflammation synergize to disrupt the neonatal gut microbiota and brain development in a model of prematurity

This study shows that C-sections combined with systemic inflammation worsen brain and gut issues in a preterm mouse model, increasing neurodevelopmental risks.

Distinct higher-order representations of natural sounds in human and ferret auditory cortex

This study compares neural representations of natural sounds in human and ferret auditory cortex, finding divergent processing at higher cortical stages for speech and music.

Sonogenetic stimulation of the brain at a spatiotemporal resolution suitable for vision restoration

This paper demonstrates sonogenetic stimulation of the brain with high spatiotemporal resolution for visual restoration in rats and rodents.

Single Trial Decoding of Movement Intentions Using Functional Ultrasound Neuroimaging

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of using functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging to decode movement intentions for brain-machine interfaces in non-human primates.

Online modulation of brain hemodynamics despite stereotyped running

The paper examines neurovascular interactions in running rats, finding that brain hemodynamics change across trials despite constant running speed and theta activity.

Acoustic biomolecules enhance hemodynamic functional ultrasound imaging of neural activity

This paper introduces gas vesicles as ultrasound contrast agents to enhance transcranial hemodynamic functional ultrasound imaging of mouse brain activity.

Multi-scale mapping along the auditory hierarchy using high-resolution functional UltraSound in the awake ferret

This paper demonstrates the use of functional UltraSound (fUS) to create high-resolution, multi-scale functional maps of the auditory pathway in awake ferrets.
