This study shows that ultrasound-induced tissue displacement predicts functional neuromodulation in the human brain during transcranial ultrasound stimulation.

This study validates auditory noise masks to reduce the perceptibility of transcranial ultrasound, finding that high masker levels are needed and spectrum-tuned masks do not outperform white noise.

This study investigates the effects of transcranial focused ultrasound on visual perception and SSVEP in humans but finds no significant impact despite accurate targeting.

This study investigates how spatial attention and session day affect human visual cortical plasticity using SSRP and EEG, finding that potentiation increases with repeated sessions and attention enhances it in naive participants.

This study optimizes MR-ARFI for human transcranial focused ultrasound to reduce exposure and improve motion robustness, demonstrating its potential for guiding neural therapeutics.

The paper assesses the stability of steady-state visual evoked potential contrast response functions over time, finding them stable enough for repeated-measures studies of neuroplasticity.

The paper finds increased reliability of visually-evoked activity in V1 neurons of MECP2-duplication mice, suggesting altered sensory processing mechanisms in autism.

This study uses MR-guided TUS to modulate visual evoked potentials and cortical oscillations in a sheep model by targeting the lateral geniculate nucleus.

The paper investigates how apical and basal dendrites of L2/3 pyramidal neurons in mouse V1 contribute to orientation encoding, finding that orientation tuning is robust to dendritic ablation.

The paper examines axonal bouton stability during motor learning in MECP2 duplication syndrome mice, finding reduced elimination rates compared to wild-type mice.

The paper shows that in MECP2 duplication syndrome mice, excessive ERK-dependent synaptic clustering enhances motor learning, suggesting a mechanism for abnormal learning in autism.
