Abstract:
Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that demonstrates great potential in treatment of neurological disorders due to its high spatial resolution and focused penetration ability, enabling millimetre-level precision modulation of specific brain regions with ultrasound to achieve neuromodulation of targeted areas. At present, numerous animal experiments and human studies have been carried out on the regulation of Alzheimer′s disease by TUS. In this review, the regulation effects of TUS on Alzheimer′s disease were introduced from the perspective of targeting different brain regions, including the hippocampus, frontal lobe and whole brain.
