Understanding ultrasound neuromodulation using a computationally efficient and interpretable model of intramembrane cavitation

Silvestro Micera, Esra Neufeld, Théo Lemaire

Objective. Low-intensity focused ultrasound stimulation (LIFUS) emerges as an attracting technology for noninvasive modulation of neural circuits, yet the underlying action mechanisms remain unclear. The neuronal intramembrane cavitation excitation (NICE) ...

Ultrasound Stimulations Induce Prolonged Depolarization and Fast Action Potentials in Leech Neurons

Silvestro Micera, Théo Lemaire

Objective: Ultrasound (US) stimulation carries the promise of a selective, reversible, and non-invasive modulation of neural activity without the need for genetic manipulation of neural structures. However, the mechanisms of US-induced generation of action ...

A modeling framework to understand and optimize ultrasound neuromodulation

Théo Lemaire

Over the last decade, Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (LIFUS) has emerged as an attractive technology to modulate the activity of deep neural targets without invasive procedures. However, the underlying mechanisms by which ultrasonic waves can ...

MorphoSONIC: A morphologically structured intramembrane cavitation model reveals fiber-specific neuromodulation by ultrasound

Elena Vicari, Silvestro Micera, Esra Neufeld, Théo Lemaire

Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (LIFUS) holds promise for the remote modulation of neural activity, but an incomplete mechanistic characterization hinders its clinical maturation. Here we developed a computational framework to model intramembr ...
