Transcranial ultrasound stimulation modulates neural activity of paraventricular thalamus and prefrontal cortex in the propofol-anesthetized mice.
Journal of Neural Engineering June 9, 2025 Guangying Cui, Yi Yuan, Qiaoxuan Wang et al.
Objective: Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) has been reported to modulate neural activity and accelerate the recovery of consciousness in the propofol-anesthetized mice. Both the thalamus and frontal cortex play critical roles in anesthetic-induced transition of consciousness. Approach: Twenty-one male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the Sham group (n=7), the TUS1 group (n=7)...
