Ultrasound-induced suppression of visually-evoked potentials: experience in nonhuman primates with a clinical transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound system
Methods The animal was deeply anesthetized using ketamine and dexdormitor. First we targeted the LGN using MR temperature imaging, and then we relocated the MRI table just outside the MRI. Visually-evoked potentials driven by a strobe light were recorded transcranially using electrodes placed over the visual cortex. Recordings were obtained before, during, and after sonications at different tar...
متن کاملPreclinical evaluation of a low-frequency transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound system in a primate model.
This study investigated thermal ablation and skull-induced heating with a 230 kHz transcranial MRI-guided focused ultrasound (TcMRgFUS) system in nonhuman primates. We evaluated real-time acoustic feedback and aimed to understand whether cavitation contributed to the heating and the lesion formation. In four macaques, we sonicated thalamic targets at acoustic powers of 34-560 W (896-7590 J). Ti...
متن کاملMRI-guided disruption of the blood-brain barrier using transcranial focused ultrasound in a rat model.
Focused ultrasound (FUS) disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an increasingly investigated technique for circumventing the BBB(1-5). The BBB is a significant obstacle to pharmaceutical treatments of brain disorders as it limits the passage of molecules from the vasculature into the brain tissue to molecules less than approximately 500 Da in size(6). FUS induced BBB disruption (BBBD) i...
متن کاملTranscranial Focused Ultrasound Modulates Intrinsic and Evoked EEG Dynamics
BACKGROUND The integration of EEG recordings and transcranial neuromodulation has provided a useful construct for noninvasively investigating the modification of human brain circuit activity. Recent evidence has demonstrated that focused ultrasound can be targeted through the human skull to affect the amplitude of somatosensory evoked potentials and its associated spectral content. OBJECTIVE/...
متن کاملMRI-Guided Focused Ultrasound in Parkinson's Disease: A Review
MRI-guided focused ultrasound is a new technology that enables intracranial ablation. Since lesioning ameliorates some of the symptoms of PD, this technology is being explored as a possible treatment for medication resistant symptoms in PD patients. The purpose of this paper is to review the clinical use and treatment outcomes of PD patients treated to date with this technology.
