Ultrasound Stimulations Induce Prolonged Depolarization and Fast Action Potentials in Leech Neurons

Objective: Ultrasound (US) stimulation carries the promise of a selective, reversible, and non-invasive modulation of neural activity without the need for genetic manipulation of neural structures. However, the mechanisms of US-induced generation of action potentials (APs) are still unclear. Methods...
