What is low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for human neuromodulation? It was a privilege to help write this primer with my mentor @WynnLegonLab , out now @MethodsPrimers You can read the full article here rdcu.be/d38Rl. @FralinBiomed @virginia_tech @vtcsom
Low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) is a potentially transformative neuromodulation technique that offers millimeter precision and adjustable focal lengths to target small and deep human brain circuitry.

@WynnLegonLab find that noninvasive modulation of insula subregions affects pain ratings, brain physiology related to pain, and metrics of autonomic/cardiovascular activity including heart-rate variability. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/3Vbl4Fw
