Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the use of transcranial focused ultrasound (tfUS) to treat patients with treatment-refractory generalized anxiety disorder (trGAD) by targeting the right amygdala.
  • Twenty-five participants received eight weekly tfUS sessions and were assessed using anxiety measures such as the Hamilton Anxiety Inventory (HAM-A) and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), showing significant reductions in anxiety levels post-treatment.
  • The findings indicate that tfUS is a safe and potentially effective intervention for anxiety disorders, meriting further research into its applications for psychiatric and neurological conditions.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive, multifactorial, neurodegenerative disorder affecting >6 million Americans. Chronic, low-grade neuroinflammation, and insulin resistance may drive AD pathogenesis. We explored the neurophysiological and neuropsychological effects of NE3107, an oral, anti-inflammatory, insulin-sensitizing molecule, in AD.

The present study investigates a potential method of optimizing effective strategies for the functional lateralization of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) while in a scanner. Effective hemisphere lateralization of the dlPFC is crucial for lowering the functional risks connected to specific interventions (such as neurosurgery and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), as well as increasing the effectiveness of a given intervention by figuring out the optimal location. This task combines elements of creative problem solving, executive decision making based on an internal rule set, and working memory.

This study intended to evaluate the safety and possible therapeutic effect of transcranial infrared laser stimulation (TILS) based on photobiomodulation (PBM) among patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Eleven participants who were diagnosed with TBI after full neurological examination and MRI evaluation by a board-certified neurologist completed five to eight 20-minute TILS sessions using the Cytonsys CytonPro-5000 apparatus (pilot laser control, focused wavelength of 1064 nm, maximum output power of 10W, maximum optical power density of 500 mW/cm, effective area 4.5 cm in diameter).
