Ultrasound and Hyperthermia Applications

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

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.

Ultrasound Produces Extensive Brain Activation via a Cochlear Pathway

This study shows ultrasound activates brain regions via a cochlear pathway, not directly, by vibrating cerebrospinal fluid connected to the cochlea.

Ultrasonic Neuromodulation Causes Widespread Cortical Activation via an Indirect Auditory Mechanism

This study shows ultrasound causes cortical activation through an indirect auditory mechanism, not direct neuromodulation at the ultrasound focus.

Safety of transcranial focused ultrasound for human neuromodulation

This study evaluates the safety of transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) for human neuromodulation, finding no serious adverse effects and minor transient symptoms reported.

Ultrasound elicits behavioral responses through mechanical effects on neurons and ion channels in a simple nervous system

The paper shows ultrasound induces behavioral responses in C. elegans through mechanical effects on neurons and MEC-4 ion channels, not thermal effects.

Low-intensity focused ultrasound alters the latency and spatial patterns of sensory-evoked cortical responses in vivo.

This study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to alter sensory-evoked cortical responses in vivo, showing changes in latency and spatial patterns of neural activity.

Physical mechanisms of ultrasonic neurostimulation of the retina

This study identifies radiation force as the physical mechanism of ultrasonic neurostimulation in ex vivo salamander retina, showing frequency-dependent stimulation and standing wave effects.

Focused ultrasound enhances sensorimotor decision-making in monkeys

This study shows that focused ultrasound improves visual-motor decision-making in monkeys and interacts with haloperidol, suggesting a role for the dorsal striatum in decision-making.
