The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) awarded The Leland Stanford Junior University a Project Grant of $154,274 on May 15, 2026, under the Extramural Research Programs in the Neurosciences and Neurological Disorders (CFDA 93.853). The research, scheduled for completion by April 30, 2028, focuses on developing innovative ultrasound transducer technology to enable transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) for noninvasive focal brain modulation in mice. The project will deliver an advanced transducer capable of producing significantly smaller focal spots at frequencies relevant to human applications, along with preliminary data examining state-dependent effects of TUS on visual cortex activity using genetically encoded calcium indicators (GCaMPs) and hippocampal slice-derived paradigms. This research addresses a critical gap in neuroscience by providing the tools necessary to move beyond correlational neuroimaging and behavioral studies toward causal circuit-based manipulation of neural activity. By establishing the biophysical mechanisms and targeting performance of TUS in the murine model system, the project will generate foundational evidence supporting future clinical applications for treating central nervous system disorders with improved anatomical specificity and depth of neuromodulation.Federal Grant Award Summary
