Abstrakt: Low-intensity focused ultrasound represents groundbreaking medical advancements, characterized by its noninvasive feature, safety, precision, and broad neuromodulatory capabilities. This technology operates through mechanisms, for example, acoustic radiation force, cavitation, and thermal effects. Notably, with the evolution of medical technology, ultrasound neuromodulation has been gradually applied in treating central nervous system diseases, especially stroke. Furthermore, burgeoning research areas such as sonogenetics and nanotechnology show promising potential. Despite the benefit of low-intensity focused ultrasound the precise biophysical mechanism of ultrasound neuromodulation still need further exploration. This review discusses the recent and ongoing developments of low-intensity focused ultrasound for neurological regulation, covering the underlying rationale to current utility and the challenges that impede its further development and broader adoption of this promising alternative to noninvasive therapy.
