Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation Improves Coordination After Stroke

Following stroke, patients have a hard time performing coordinated movements. Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) is emerging as a treatment to improve poststroke coordination, but the mechanisms for this motor improvement remain unclear. New in The Journal of Neuroscience, Yi Yuan, from Yanshan University, and colleagues used a mouse model of ischemic stroke to shed light on how TUS interacts with the brain during behavior to improve coordination.
