This study shows that single-pulse megahertz-range focused ultrasound can evoke calcium signaling and dopamine release in cultured human dopaminergic neurons.

This study uses megahertz-range single-pulse focused ultrasound to induce focal calcium waves in human neural cells, showing that radiation force at >5 MHz provides safer, more predictable stimulation than cavitation.

The paper identifies pallidin, a BLOC-1 gene, as upregulated in mice lacking histamine and orexin, associated with sleep disorders and altered neurotransmitter systems.
