Congratulations to Seongyeon Kim and UEIL neuromodulation team for their outstanding work, "Displacement and functional ultrasound (fUS) imaging of displacement-guided focused ultrasound (FUS) neuromodulation in mice,", which has been accepted to be published in NeuroImage. This work leveraged displacement and functional imaging simultaneously with FUS and first provided the mapping of displacement and hemodynamic activation in response to FUS neuromodulation.
