About this Research Topic
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) stimulation has emerged as a promising technique in neurorehabilitation, particularly for traumatic brain and peripheral nerve injuries. Recent studies have demonstrated the potential of LIPUS in spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery and retinal ganglion cell (RGC) modulation. Furthermore, focused ultrasound (FUS) has shown potential in modulating spinal reflexes and providing non-invasive, region-specific neuromodulation. Despite these advancements, the mechanisms underlying LIPUS and FUS stimulation, as well as their safety and efficacy, remain poorly understood.
This research topic aims to advance the understanding of LIPUS and FUS stimulation mechanisms, evaluate their safety and efficacy, and explore their potential applications in treating neurological disorders. The main objectives include investigating the cellular and circuitry mechanisms underlying LIPUS and FUS stimulation, assessing their impact on spinal reflexes and neuromodulation, and examining their potential as therapeutic interventions.
To gather further insights in the field of LIPUS and FUS stimulation, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:
- Cellular and circuitry mechanisms underlying LIPUS and FUS stimulation
- Safety and efficacy of LIPUS and FUS in neurorehabilitation and neuromodulation
- Optimization of LIPUS and FUS parameters for targeted neuromodulation
- Exploration of novel neuromodulation methods and their potential in neurorehabilitation
- Development of non-invasive, region-specific neuromodulation techniques using phased-array systems and other advanced technologies
- Application of LIPUS stimulation in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Alzheimer's Disease (AD)
