There are several different surgical procedures that are used to treat essential tremor (ET),
including deep brain stimulation (DBS) and thalamotomy procedures with radiofrequency …

OBJECTIVE. This article reviews the physical principles of MRI-guided focused ultra-sound
and discusses current and potential applications of this exciting technology. CONCLUSION …

Ultrasound-induced neurostimulation has recently gained increasing attention, but little is
known about the mechanisms by which it affects neural activity or about the range of …

We demonstrated the in vivo feasibility of using focused ultrasound (FUS) to transiently
modulate (through either stimulation or suppression) the function of regional brain tissue in …

OBJECTIVE Ultrasound can be precisely focused through the intact human skull to target
deep regions of the brain for stereotactic ablations. Acoustic energy at much lower …

Background Transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) has emerged as a new brain stimulation
modality. The range of sonication parameters for successful brain stimulation warrants …

OBJECTIVE This work evaluated the clinical feasibility of transcranial magnetic resonance
imaging–guided focused ultrasound surgery. METHODS Transcranial magnetic resonance …

Object Recent technological developments open the field of therapeutic application of
focused ultrasound to the brain through the intact cranium. The goal of this study was to …

MRI-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) surgery is a noninvasive thermal ablation
method that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for target definition, treatment …

Focused ultrasound is a promising noninvasive technology for neural stimulation. Here we
use the isolated salamander retina to characterize the effect of ultrasound on an intact …
