Spike-frequency dependent inhibition and potentiation of neural activity by ultrasound

Martin Loynaz Prieto, Kamyar Firouzi, Butrus T. Khuri-Yakub, Daniel V. Madison, Merritt C. Maduke

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

Activation Of Piezo1 But Not Nav1.2 Channels By Ultrasound at 43 MHz

Martin Loynaz Prieto, Kamyar Firouzi, Butrus T. Khuri-Yakub, Merritt C. Maduke

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.
