Abstract #153: Ultrasonic Modulation Of Sensory-Evoked Cortical Responses Revealed By Optical Imaging In Vivo

Introduction: The use of transcranial, low intensity focused ultrasound (FUS) is an emerging neuromodulation technology that shows promise for both therapeutic and research applications. Key technical advantages include high lateral resolution of stimulation and deep penetration depth. However, empirically observed effects in vivo are diverse, and at a fundamental level, it is unclear how FUS alters the function of neural circuits at the site of sonication.
