Researchers at the Institute for Basic Science have developed a new non-invasive brain stimulation method called Patterned Low-Intensity Low-Frequency Ultrasound (LILFUS) that can induce long-lasting changes in brain function. This technique utilizes ultrasound to precisely stimulate specific brain areas, allowing modulation of neural plasticity through the activation of key molecular pathways. LILFUS has shown promise in improving motor skill learning and may have applications in treating conditions such as depression. The research team plans to further explore the potential of LILFUS in treating brain disorders and enhancing cognitive functions in the future.
