Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation of the Anterior Cingulate Cortex Reduces Neuropathic Pain in Mice

Figure 2

Transcranial FUS stimulation slowly improved the mechanical withdraw threshold in the short-term experiment. Timeline of the short-term experiment (n = 6) (a). Ultrasound stimulation increased the mechanical withdrawal thresholds of the surgical side () (b). The increase in the mechanical and thermal withdrawal thresholds of the contralateral side (c, e). The variation of sciatic nerve index and body weight (f, g). ^# represents a statistically significant difference between the FUS2 group and the other two groups. indicates a statistically significant difference between the FUS2 group and the Sham group.  + indicates a statistically significant difference between the FUS1 group and the Sham group.
