Focused Ultrasound's Promise for Neurological Disorders

The Use of Low-intensity Ultrasound to Modulate Brain Function Expands Options for Treating Neurological Conditions, Including Dementia, Epilepsy, and Parkinson’s Disease

Non-invasive, low-intensity focused ultrasound offers targeted treatment and rehab for certain neurological conditions that are difficult to treat with drugs alone, such as dementia, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease, according to a new study by New York Medical College researchers. The research, published in Nature Communications Biology, sheds new light on how ultrasound affects blood flow by dilating the smallest vessels in the brain, thereby increasing their ability to deliver energy to targeted regions.
