Sonogenetics
Sonogenetics is a rapidly evolving field that leverages the power of low-intensity ultrasound to achieve precise, non-invasive control over cellular activity. By engineering mechanosensitive proteins, researchers can now render specific cells sensitive to acoustic pressure, bypassing the need for invasive implants or tethered light sources. This technology represents a fundamental shift in our ability to probe and treat complex biological systems across both neuronal and non-neuronal circuits. From uncovering the basic principles of brain function to the development of targeted human therapeutics, sonogenetics is redefining the boundaries of neuromodulation.
