摘要:
Systems for modulating one or more neurons using focused ultrasound (FUS) include a transducer mount, a recording chamber disposed at an angle relative the transducer mount and configured to contain the one or more neurons within the recording chamber, an ultrasound transducer disposed on the transducer mount to provide an ultrasound stimulus having one or more ultrasound parameters to the one or more neurons, and a processor configured to adjust the one or more ultrasound parameters to produce one or more action potentials from the one or more neurons in response to the ultrasound stimulus, the one or more action potentials corresponding to one or more of a pain or sensation response, a pain or sensation suppression, or neural control of organ function induced by the one or more neurons.
