First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 28 times

Summary

This study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) can safely and temporarily change how different parts of the brain communicate with each other. Researchers will apply LIFU to deep brain areas in 66 healthy adults and measure brain activity changes using MRI scans. The goal is to understand how brain circuits work, which could lead to new treatments for mental health conditions like depression or anxiety.
