"Advancements in Ultrasound Brain Stimulation for Neurotherapy and Pain Management"
Researchers have developed a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called Patterned Low-Intensity Low-Frequency Ultrasound (LILFUS) that can precisely target and modulate specific brain regions, offering a promising alternative to traditional methods with fewer risks. LILFUS activates mechanosensitive calcium channels in astrocytes, influencing neural plasticity and enabling the control of brain function for improved motor skills and potential treatment applications in various neurological disorders. This advancement represents a significant leap in neurotherapy, with broad therapeutic potential and the ability to enhance cognitive functions without invasive procedures.
