What is low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for human neuromodulation? It was a privilege to help write this primer with my mentor @WynnLegonLab , out now @MethodsPrimers You can read the full article here rdcu.be/d38Rl. @FralinBiomed @virginia_tech @vtcsom
.@CarilionClinic is partnering with @FralinBiomed on fibromyalgia research investigating the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on chronic pain. Learn more carilionclinic.org/research/fibro…
🔊 From imaging to sonar, sound has long been a powerful tool. Now, scientists are using ultrasound to tackle #pain, #addiction, and even #cancer. Wynn Legon shares why the world is finally paying attention. Follow Pocket Science today 🚀 ⤵️ fralinbiomed.info/ps-legon-x
Thrilled to have played a small role in this great paper led by @OlaitanGreat and @jventon out in @JNeurochem. Congrats to everyone! @WynnLegonLab @ChemistryUVA @FralinBiomed Focused Ultrasound Modulates Dopamine in a Mesolimbic Reward Circuit. doi.org/10.1111/jnc.70…
Excited to share our work in @nature on H-bonded organic frameworks as ultrasound-programmable drug delivery system! Congratulations to @wangqenliang92 @advancedlnp @KingRaychard @KaiWTang and all our collaborators! @UTBiomedical @UTAustin @NSF @NIGMS nature.com/articles/s4158…
M.D.+Ph.D. student Noah Oakland will use a @NIH Kirschstein F30 grant to support in vivo studies of the immunosuppressive effects of a synthetic DNA molecule in autoimmune diseases like lupus. Read how: news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…
Excited to find out today I’m an @NIH F30 fellow through the @NIH_NCCIH. Huge thanks to @WynnLegonLab for the support and mentorship throughout this process. @FralinBiomed @vtcsom @virginia_tech @VT_TBMH.
Low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) is a potentially transformative neuromodulation technique that offers millimeter precision and adjustable focal lengths to target small and deep human brain circuitry. Read the full primer below on @MethodsPrimers: go.nature.com/4iYbLnx
Our latest research is now online, unravelling the dynamic of ultrasound stimulation on the human brain! How does functional connectivity change after #TUS and how is this linked to cognitive changes? doi.org/10.1038/s41598… @FUSFoundation 1/5
A big congrats to the Legon Lab's PhD student Gabe Isaac and junior Aditya Kapoor on winning 1st and 2nd place in the Lightning Talk Competition at the DC Society for Neuroscience conference this past weekend! @FralinBiomed @VTNeuro
I'm usually not into writing reviews, but this was a request was to imagine the future of transcranial ultrasound neuromodulation. Needless to say, I had some inspiration journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
[Low intensity focused ultrasound] Philip and Arulpragasam: "It provides important confirmation that the posterior insula is involved in interoceptive processing, and this can be modulated noninvasively." doi.org/10.1016/j.clin…
Where to place an ultrasound transducer to optimally target a specific brain region in a given individual? We developed 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗧𝗨𝗦, a tool that helps TUS researchers to quickly and heuristically select the most promising transducer placement(s). A 🧵 on its functionalities.
New study out from @WynnLegonLab in collaboration with @KhalsaLab and @Ch_Verdonk. low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to the insula differentially modulates the heartbeat-evoked potential: a proof-of-concept study. Link to the full article here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jtKo4xfebFN…
