Abstract
⺠Focused ultrasound (FUS) was applied for the modulation of regional brain activity. ⺠Pulsed FUS was delivered to the rabbit somatomotor and visual areas. ⺠The brain function was characterized by electroencephalogram and functional MRI. ⺠The effects were bimodal-neural excitability can be either increased or suppressed. ⺠FUS provides non-invasive regional modulation of neural tissue excitability.
