Neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease and epilepsy have had some treatment success with deep brain stimulation, but those require surgical device implantation.
Washington [US], May 29 (ANI): During a recent study, a multidisciplinary team at Washington University in St. Louis developed a new brain stimulation technique using focused ultrasound that is able to turn on and off specific types of neurons in the brain. It can even precisely control motor activity without surgical device implantation.
