Summary
This early-stage study tests whether low-intensity focused ultrasound applied to the amygdala can change brain activity and improve mood in people with bipolar disorder. Twenty adults with bipolar I or II will receive the ultrasound while researchers measure brain scans and mood changes. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach is feasible and could lead to new treatments.
