Noninvasive Ultrasound Lab

Brain Awareness Week has come and gone, but what a cerebral celebration it was 🥳🧠 Nearly 200 people packed in for Brain School which included programming around #brain #science and its role in helping people lead healthier lives. Learn more! ⤵️ news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…

🔊 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

Catch Dr. Legon on the new episode of Pocket Science, @FralinBiomed's new podcast! The episode dives into focused ultrasound & our chronic pain research. Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Youtube, & more! fbri.vtc.vt.edu/newsroom/pocke…

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.

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

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

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…

Excited to announce our newest publication in @brainstimj! Thanks to everyone for all their hard work! @StrohmanAndrew @AlexanderIn17 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

“Noninvasive neuromodulation of subregions of the human insula differentially affect pain processing and heart-rate variability: a within-subjects pseudo-randomized trial” by @WynnLegonLab is available #OpenAccess in the July issue of #PAIN bit.ly/3Vbl4Fw

@WynnLegonLab find that noninvasive modulation of insula subregions affects pain ratings, brain physiology related to pain, and metrics of autonomic/cardiovascular activity including heart-rate variability. Learn more in #PAIN bit.ly/3Vbl4Fw

Virginia Tech takes a leap forward in medical innovation! 🚀 Honored to be designated as a Center of Excellence by @fusfoundation, recognizing our leading role in advancing non-invasive medical treatments. #FocusedUltrasound #Innovation news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…

Results from two clinical trials investigating low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) for the treatment of pain have been published. In both trials, the teams from @WynnLegonLab at @FralinBiomed showed that LIFU could be an effective method for noninvasive neuromodulation of…

Congratulations to our MD student - Alex In - for being inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society! @AlexanderIn17 news.vt.edu/articles/2024/…

Please join brainSTIM for the following talk next Monday, 4/8 at 3 PM with Wynn Legon, Ph.D. (Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine)! "Low-intensity focused ultrasound for human neuromodulation applications”
