Abstract: Ultrasound neuromodulation, in which local and deep brain areas are stimulated, holds promise for clinical applications. However, the mechanisms of action underlying the stimulation effects are still unknown. In vitro experiments are helpful for investigating the stimulation mechanisms because they allow easy control of extracellular conditions. Compared with closed-loop systems, conventional open-loop systems do not permit monitoring of neural activity, and thus can lead to excessive neural stimulation. In this study, we developed a piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer (PMUT) combined with monitoring microelectrodes. To examine the potential of our device as a neuromodulation tool, we measured the cellular responses to generated ultrasound stimulation. Subsequently, we constructed a closed-loop system that combined our PMUT with monitoring electrodes, and applied event-related ultrasound stimulation to brain slices in vitro. We discuss future applications of a closed-lo op ultrasound stimulation system. (More)
