A small study found that focused ultrasound safely reduced amyloid plaques and improved neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer’s patients without medication, offering a promising new treatment approach by targeting the brain’s blood-brain barrier.
I have often been asked about mechanisms for focused ultrasound neuromodulation.
Here is Figure 2 from this 2022 review paper by Dell'Italia, Sanguinetti, Monti, Bystritsky, and Reggente proposing mechanisms: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9081930/
Low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) has been gaining traction as a non-invasive neuromodulation technology due to its superior spatial specificity relative to transcranial electrical/magnetic stimulation. Despite a growing literature of LIFU-induced ...
Acacia Clinics is recruiting research participants with anxiety who can come to their site in Sunnyvale, CA.
Acacia is renowned for their works in noninvasive brain stimulation for mental health.
This study is designed to study whether low-intensity ultrasound can temporarily alter self-reported anxiety and brain activity related to emotional processing.
