This study demonstrates focused ultrasound co-administrated with microbubbles can modulate local brain activities. Focused ultrasound with acoustic pressures of 0.3 MPa produced reliable and reversible brain modulation. This present study proposed a novel non-invasive, reversible and localized brain modulated method which is suitable for a variety of neurophysiological experiments and clinical applications.
