Japanese Patent JP2022169606
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide, generally, techniques for neuromodulation of a tissue that include applying energy (e.g., ultrasound energy) into the tissue to alter activity at a synapse between a neuronal cell and a non-neuronal cell.SOLUTION: A modulation system comprises: an energy application device configured to apply energy to a region of interest of a tissue in a subject, the tissue comprising a plurality of axon terminals of respective neurons, the axon terminals forming axoextracellular synapses between individual axon terminals and respective non-neuronal cells; and a controller configured to spatially select the region of interest of the tissue, the region of interest comprising a subset of the plurality of axon terminals and an associated subset of the axoextracellular synapses.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
