NEUROMODULATION TECHNIQUES

Abstract:

The subject matter of the present disclosure generally relates to techniques for neuromodulation of a tissue that include applying energy (e.g., ultrasound energy) into the tissue to cause altered activity at a synapse between a neuron and a non-neuronal cell. In one embodiment, the energy is applied to cause persistent effects as a result of repeated application of energy within a predefined treatment window.
