Hippocampal plasticity induced by tFUS

Niu et al. from Bin He’s lab at Carnegie Mellon University inserted NeuroNexus probes (e.g., A1x16-5mm-50-177-CM16LP and 32-channel designs) at a 50-degree lateral angle to target rat hippocampus. They used the silicon probes to record field EPSPs during transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) and revealed that tFUS can induce lasting changes in connectivity.
