What's new in ultrasound neuromodulation?

from Peng, et al; stimulating the nucleus accumbens inhibits its activity Transcranial focused ultrasound neuromodulation — altering the brain’s activity with low-intensity ultrasound — is really exciting . It allows us to manipulate arbitrary regions of the brain without surgery, potentially replacing the (brain-damaging) electrode implants currently used for serious neurological conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson’s, and potentially also expanding applications of brain stimulation to milder conditions not worth the risks of brain surgery, like mental illness, addiction, or chronic…
