Portable ultrasound? New technology targets problem areas in the brain

by

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have innovated a non-invasive technology that combines a holographic acoustic device with genetic engineering. This allows them to precisely target specific neurons in the brain. This breakthrough holds promise for the precise modulation of targeted cell types in various diseased brain regions. Diseases of the human brain, such … Read more
