This paper introduces a miniaturized functional ultrasound imaging system for freely moving mice, achieving high-resolution brain activity mapping with improved accessibility and performance.

This study shows ultrasound directly activates sparse neurons in deafened mice, modulates visual circuits, and confirms direct mechanical effects independent of auditory input.

This study uses functional ultrasound to monitor brain activity in developing mice and non-human primates, revealing neural activity patterns and responses to external stimuli.

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

This study shows that Piezo1 modulates microglia migration and immune responses by affecting cytokine production and stiffness sensing.

This study demonstrates that sonogenetics can selectively activate defined neural circuits and induce specific behaviors in freely moving mice through ultrasound stimulation.

This paper demonstrates a method using gas-filled nanostructures to enhance and selectively control ultrasound neuromodulation of neurons.
