Stimulation of Hippocampal Neurogenesis by Transcranial Focused Ultrasound and Microbubbles in Adult Mice

Stimulation of Hippocampal Neurogenesis by Transcranial Focused Ultrasound and Microbubbles in Adult Mice

Transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) and microbubble contrast agent, applied at parameters known to transiently increase blood-brain barrier permeability, were tested for the potential to stimulate hippocampal neurogenesis. In adult mice, FUS treatment significantly increased the number of prolifer...
