Abstract

Neuromodulation is a technology for reversibly modulating neural activity by applying artificial stimuli to an organism. Electrical and magnetic stimulation technologies have been employed in clinical practices, especially for brain disorders including motor and mood disorders. Ultrasound stimulation has theoretically superior spatial and time resolution to electrical and magnetic stimulation. Even cell-type specific non-invasive neuromodulation is possible with an emerging technology with mechano-sensitive ion channels. Here we briefly mention the current situation of ultrasound neuromodulation and the neuromodulation of the autonomic nervous system. An application of the ultrasound neuromodulation of an organ controlled by the autonomic nervous system (such as the cardiovascular system) is then discussed.
