en Cognitive Neuroscience Cognitive Neuroscience Review Review <p class="MsoNormal" dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">Brain stimulation techniques are important in both basic and clinical studies. Majority of&nbsp;well-known brain stimulating techniques have low spatial resolution or entail invasive&nbsp;processes. Low intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) seems to be a proper candidate for&nbsp;dealing with such deficiencies. This review recapitulates studies which explored the effects&nbsp;of LIFU on brain structures and its function, in both research and clinical areas.&nbsp;Although the mechanism of LIFU action is still unclear, its different effects from molecular&nbsp;level up to behavioral level can be explored in animal and human brain. It can also be&nbsp;coupled with brain imaging assessments in future research.<span> <b><!--stripped--><!--stripped--></b></span></p> Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS), Non invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), Neuromodulation, Neuroimaging 187 194 http://bcn.iums.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-600-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Ehsan Rezayat erezayat.er@gmail.com 1370031947532846008222 1370031947532846008222 Yes Ultrasound Brain Stimulation Lab, Institute for Cognitive Science Studies, Tehran, Iran.
