Ultrasound Shown To Exert Remote Control Of Brain Circuits

Monday, November 3, 2008 - 16:07 in Health & Medicine

In a twist on nontraditional uses of ultrasound, neuroscientists have developed pulsed ultrasound techniques that can remotely stimulate brain circuit activity. The findings provide insights into how low-power ultrasound can be harnessed for the noninvasive neurostimulation of brain circuits and offers the potential for new treatments of brain disorders and disease.
