Image Research news | Nov 7 2018 Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Ultrasound releases drug to alter activity in targeted brain areas in rats Stanford researchers used focused ultrasound to pry molecules of an anesthetic loose from nanoparticles. The drug’s release modified activity in brain regions targeted by the ultrasound beam.
