Closed-loop transcranial focused ultrasound with 40Hz gamma entrainment to restore hippocampal-cortical synchrony via selective PV interneuron mechanostimulation in Alzheimer's disease
h-var-58e76ac310
This hypothesis combines the spatial precision of transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) with the proven efficacy of 40Hz gamma entrainment to create a targeted neuromodulation therapy for Alzheimer's disease. The approach uses tFUS to deliver precisely timed 40Hz acoustic pulses directly to CA1 hippocampal subfields, mechanically stimulating parvalbumin-positive (PV) fast-spiking interneurons whi
