🧠 There are so many innovations in innervation!

Steven Veld, Naveen Rao, and I brought an accessible article on neuromodulation techniques to life in NEUROTECH FUTURES!

Here, we discuss various neuromodulation technologies, as well as companies producing them.

⚡️ Neuromodulation goes beyond electrifying!
🧲 Some forms use magnets.
✨ Some modes use photonics.
🤝 Some techniques even shake things up!

#Ultrasound system for precise #neuromodulation of human deep brain circuits biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/20 "we demonstrate the system's ability to selectively modulate the activity of the lateral geniculate nucleus (#LGN) and its functionally connected regions in the visual cortex" #neuroscience

More information in the Twitter/X thread x.com/UCL_Ultrasound/status/17

bioRxiv · Ultrasound system for precise neuromodulation of human deep brain circuitsTranscranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) has emerged as a promising technique for non-invasive neuromodulation, but current systems lack the precision to target deep brain structures effectively. Here, we introduce an advanced TUS system that achieves unprecedented precision in deep brain neuromodulation. The system features a 256-element, helmet-shaped transducer array operating at 555 kHz, coupled with a stereotactic positioning system, individualised treatment planning, and real-time monitoring using functional MRI. In a series of experiments, we demonstrate the system's ability to selectively modulate the activity of the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) and its functionally connected regions in the visual cortex. Participants exhibited significantly increased visual cortex activity during concurrent TUS and visual stimulation, with high reproducibility across individuals. Moreover, a theta-burst TUS protocol induced robust neuromodulatory effects, with decreased visual cortex activity observed for at least 40 minutes post-stimulation. These neuromodulatory effects were specific to the targeted LGN, as confirmed by control experiments. Our findings highlight the potential of this advanced TUS system to non-invasively modulate deep brain circuits with high precision and specificity, offering new avenues for studying brain function and developing targeted therapies for neurological and psychiatric disorders. The unprecedented spatial resolution and prolonged neuromodulatory effects demonstrate the transformative potential of this technology for both research and clinical applications, paving the way for a new era of non-invasive deep brain neuromodulation. ### Competing Interest Statement BET, EM, OW, and MR are authors of or have a financial interest in patent filings related to the technology described in this study. BET is a developer of the commercially available k-Plan treatment planning software used in this study and BET and BTC hold a financial interest in the software. The remaining authors declare no competing interests.

New preprint! We observed a nonlinear relationship between pupil dilation and the intensity of transcutaneous auricular #vagus nerve stimulation (#taVNS) in adult humans. We discuss the potential role of stimulation parameterization in using #pupillometry as biomarker of taVNS’s neuromodulatory effects.

bioRxiv · 300 Hz transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) impacts pupil size nonlinearly as a function of intensityTranscutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) is a neuromodulatory technique that may have numerous potential health and human performance benefits. However, optimal stimulation parameters for maximizing taVNS efficacy are unknown. Progress is impeded by disagreement on the identification of a biomarker that reliably indexes activation of neuromodulatory systems targeted by taVNS, including the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system. Pupil size varies with LC-NE activity and is one potential taVNS biomarker that has shown inconsistent sensitivity to taVNS in prior studies. The present study examined the relationship between pupil size and taVNS using stimulation parameters that have shown promising behavioral effects in prior studies but have received comparatively little attention. Participants received 30-second trains of 50 μs taVNS pulses delivered below perceptual threshold at 300 Hz to the left external acoustic meatus (EAM) while pupil size was recorded during a pupillary light reflex task. Analysis of pupil size using generalized additive mixed modelling (GAMM) revealed a nonlinear relationship between taVNS intensity and pupil diameter. Active taVNS increased pupil size during stimulation for participants who received taVNS between 2 and approximately 4.8 mA, but not for participants who received higher intensity taVNS (up to 8.1 mA). In addition, taVNS effects persisted in subsequent blocks, mitigating decreases in pupil size over the course of the task. These findings suggest 300 Hz taVNS activates the LC-NE system when applied to the EAM, but its effects may be counteracted at higher intensities. ### Competing Interest Statement The authors have declared no competing interest.
