Advancing Transcranial Focused Ultrasound for Noninvasive Neuromodulation of Human Cortex
Ultrasound waves are mechanical undulations above the threshold for human hearing, and have been used widely in both the human body and brain for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Ultrasound can be controlled using specially designed transducers into a focus of a few millimeters in diameter. Low …

Mechanism of transcranial focused ultrasound regulating the neuronal activity of the retrosplenial cortex
… Among those non-invasive neuromodulations, transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) can penetrate the skull to focus energy on a specific brain region, temporarily affecting brain function. Compared with traditional neuromodulation methods, such as transcranial direct current stimulation and …
