Deep cerebellar tFUS engages cortical circuits via convergent local and sensory-driven mechanisms
Abstract Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) enables non-invasive access to deep brain structures with high spatial precision, but its mechanisms of action remain elusive and under active investigation. The leading hypothesis posits that tFUS exerts its neuromodulatory effects through direct activation of neurons, while others ...
