tFUS - Localite

Transcranial Focused Ultrasound (tFUS) uses low-intensity ultrasound waves to non-invasively modulate brain activity, while Localite likely refers to a neuronavigation system used for precise targeting. This combination allows for highly localized and non-invasive neuromodulation with greater spatial specificity than traditional TMS. Special features include its ability to precisely target deep brain structures that are difficult to reach with TMS, offering potential therapeutic avenues for a wider range of neurological and psychiatric conditions, and its non-invasive nature which makes it a promising research and clinical tool.

  • Deep Brain Targeting: Ability to non-invasively modulate activity in deeper brain structures compared to traditional TMS.
  • High Spatial Specificity: Delivers highly localized ultrasound energy for precise neuromodulation.
  • Non-invasive Neuromodulation: A non-surgical method for altering brain activity.
  • Potential Therapeutic Breadth: Opens new avenues for treating a wider range of neurological and psychiatric conditions.
