Article Synopsis
- Transcranial ultrasonic stimulation (TUS) is a non-invasive technique showing promise for neuromodulation in humans, especially affecting motor cortical functions, although it’s been primarily tested in animals so far.
- Recent studies indicated that the motor inhibition effects observed in humans may actually stem from peripheral auditory stimulation rather than direct neuromodulatory action of TUS.
- The findings urge researchers to reassess prior studies that didn't control for auditory confounds and emphasize the need for rigorous experimental designs to ensure accurate interpretations in future TUS research.
Acutely challenging or threatening situations frequently require approach-avoidance decisions. Acute threat triggers fast autonomic changes that prepare the body to freeze, fight or flee. However, such autonomic changes may also influence subsequent instrumental approach-avoidance decisions.
