Real-time gamma-guided transcranial focused ultrasound targeting EC-II SST interneurons to restore hippocampal-prefrontal synchrony in early AD
h-var-d33964b962
## Molecular Mechanism and Rationale
The therapeutic mechanism centers on mechanotransduction-mediated activation of somatostatin-positive interneurons in entorhinal cortex layer II through ultrasound-sensitive ion channels. When low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFUS) is applied to EC-II SST interneurons, it activates mechanosensitive PIEZO1 channels and TREK-1 potassium channels, leading to me
