摘要: Disclosed are methods and systems for non-invasive deep brain or superficial neuromodulation up-regulation down-regulation using ultrasound impacting one multiple points in a neural circuit to produce Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) Depression (LTD) treat indications such as neurologic psychiatric conditions. Ultrasound transducers positioned by spinning them around the head on track, well individually rotated not, with control of direction energy emission, intensity, frequency, phase/intensity relationships targeting accomplishing and/or down-regulation. Alternatively may be at fixed locations track. Use ancillary monitoring imaging provide is optional.
