Publication alert 🚨 & mini thread 🧵: Modulating corticospinal excitability with transcranial ultrasound stimulation: meta-analytic evidence of online and offline effects With @eester.bsky.social, Marietta Papadatou-Pastou, & @nkonstantinou.bsky.social 1/5 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

During the past few years, evidence of human neuromodulation through Transcranial Ultrasound Stimulation (TUS) has been growing. We therefore found it timely to systematically accumulate & meta-analyse the current evidence. 2/5

This provides the field with a dataset representative of the state-of-the-art & robust estimates of TUS effects. 3/5

Key findings: - Online TUS systematically reduces corticospinal excitability as indexed by a reduction of motor evoked potentials (MEPs). This likely indicates that online TUS increases GABAa mediated inhibition. 4/5
