First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study uses low-intensity focused ultrasound to safely and temporarily change how different parts of the brain communicate in healthy volunteers. Researchers will test different doses to see which has the strongest effect on brain networks linked to mood and anxiety. The goal is to learn how these brain circuits work, which could lead to better treatments for psychiatric disorders. Participants will undergo brain scans and ultrasound sessions over several visits.
