Safety Review and Perspectives of Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Brain Stimulation
Brain & Neurorehabilitation, 2021 Ultrasound is an important theragnostic modality in modern medicine. Technical advancement of both acoustic focusing and transcranial delivery have enabled administration of ultrasound waves to localized brain areas with few millimeters of spatial specificity and penetration depth sufficient to reach the thalamus. Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS)

Brain StimulationAbstract This research investigates whether ventricular-focused ultrasound stimulation (ventricle-FUS) can serve as an effective control in studies using transcranial FUS, a non-invasive technology for brain modulation. FUS has notable potential for therapeutic applications but requires a robust control to accurately assess its effects.

Transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation of human primary visual cortex [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2016 AbstractTranscranial focused ultrasound (FUS) is making progress as a new non-invasive mode of regional brain stimulation. Current evidence of FUS-mediated neurostimulation for humans has been limited to the observation of subjective sensory manifestations and electrophysiological responses, thus warranting the identification of stimulated brain ...

Noninvasive Transcranial Stimulation of Rat Abducens Nerve by Focused Ultrasound [PDF]
Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2012 Nonpharmacologic and nonsurgical transcranial modulation of the nerve function may provide new opportunities in evaluation and treatment of cranial nerve diseases. This study investigates the possibility of using low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) to selectively stimulate the rat abducens nerve located above the base of the skull. FUS (

Transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation of cortical and thalamic somatosensory areas in human
PLOS ONE, 2023 The effects of transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex and its thalamic projection (i.e., ventral posterolateral nucleus) on the generation of electroencephalographic (EEG) responses were evaluated in healthy human volunteers.
