Temporal dynamics of offline transcranial ultrasound stimulation.

ABSTRACT: Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) is a promising non-invasive neuromodulation modality, characterized by deep-brain accuracy and the capability to induce longer-lasting effects. However, most TUS datasets are underpowered, hampering efforts to identify TUS longevity and temporal dynamics. This primate case was studied awake with over 50 fMRI datasets, with and without left anterior hippocampus TUS. We therefore amassed the highest-powered TUS dataset to date required to reveal TUS longevity and dynamics. Most of the effects were found in the TUS region itself and alongside the default mode and sensorimotor networks. Seed-based functional connectivity exhibited a time-constrained alteration which dissipated ∼60 min post-TUS. Intrinsic activity measure and regional homogeneity displa
