The study utilized high-resolution focused ultrasound to induce motor responses in anesthetized mice, revealing target-specific differences in electromyographic characteristics. Even brain targets separated by as little as 1 mm can modulate the responses in individual limbs to different extents.
Ultrasound can modulate activity in the central nervous system, including the induction of motor responses in rodents. Recent studies investigating ultrasound-induced motor movements have described mostly bilateral limb responses, but quantitative evaluations have failed to reveal lateralization or differences in response characteristics between separate limbs or how specific brain targets dictate distinct limb responses. This study uses high-resolution focused ultrasound (FUS) to elicit motor responses in anesthetized mice in vivo and four-limb electromyography (EMG) to evaluate the latency, duration and power of paired motor responses (n = 1768). The results indicate that FUS generates target-specific differences in electromyographic characteristics and that brain targets separated by as little as 1 mm can modulate the responses in individual limbs differentially. Exploiting these differences may provide a tool for quantifying the susceptibility of underlying neural volumes to FUS, understanding the functioning of the targeted neuroanatomy and aiding in mechanistic studies of this non-invasive neuromodulation technique.
