Transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation of a human white matter tract

Non-invasive methods to causally modulate human white matter tracts have proved elusive.

Non-invasive methods to causally modulate human white matter tracts have proved elusive. In vitro and in vivo studies indicate that myelinated axons are sensitive to mechanical perturbations from ultrasound, providing a mechanistic rationale for targeting white matter tracts…
