Effects of Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound on Liposomes Containing Channel proteins [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractThe ability to reversibly and non-invasively modulate region-specific brain activity in vivo suggests Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound (LIFU) as potential therapeutics for neurological dysfunctions such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. While in vivo studies provide evidence of the bioeffects of LIFU on neuronal activity, they merely hint at
