Recent reporting, analysis and explainers from the focused ultrasound desk.
science
A bioRxiv preprint found no measurable change in arousal when focused ultrasound was applied to the central lateral thalamus of two anaesthetised rhesus macaques. The animals remained physiologically stable, while the authors propose testing more distributed stimulation in future studies.
science
A bioRxiv preprint reports that 20 MHz focused ultrasound activated auditory circuits and sharply reduced noise-induced hearing loss in anesthetized guinea pigs.
health
A systematic review of 230 human low-intensity focused ultrasound experiments found that acoustic settings associated with neural facilitation or suppression differed between cortical and subcortical targets. The medRxiv preprint introduces SonoMap, an interactive resource for comparing these parameter-effect patterns.
