Emerging ultrasound approaches to noninvasively modulate the nervous system and end-organs for treating multiple health disorders

Over the past decade, there has been immense excitement and research discoveries in using non-invasive ultrasound for modulating the nervous system and end-organs for treating multiple health disorders. In my talk, I will provide an overview of the challenges and opportunities for using ultrasound to activate the nervous system. In particular, recent findings reveal that ultrasound can modulate or inhibit neurons but cannot readily excite neural circuits. My talk will also cover the emerging opportunities for using ultrasound to modulate end-organs, such as the spleen and liver, for potentially treating major health disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and acute infections.
