This study is to observe the effect and the relationship between the diffusion imaging (ADC mapping) and neuroactivity (SSEP waveform) after blood brain barrier opening by focus ultrasound with microbubbles. The result showed that the lower exposure make both ADC value and the SSEP waveform decrease but recovered in two days. However, the higher exposure make them both significant decrease and come back slower. We want to reveal more details need to be considered in the future neurophysiological, neuromodulation, or BBB issues.
