Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation Simulator

Transcranial LIFU Phased Array • Ventral Striatum / NAc Targeting
Transducer Array & Physics 128-ch Array
Center Frequency (f₀) 650 kHz
250 kHz (High Penetration) 1.0 MHz (Tight Focus)
Acoustic Power (P_ac) 18.5 W
Duty Cycle (DC) 5.0 %
Pulse Repetition (PRF) 10 Hz
Skull Bone Physics: Human calvarium introduces acoustic velocity mismatch (2800 m/s in cortical bone vs 1540 m/s in brain tissue) causing severe wave defocusing. CT-derived time-reversal beamforming corrects each element's phase to synthesize a sharp millimeter focal point inside the Ventral Striatum.
TARGET: NAc (X: 0.0mm, Y: -12.0mm)
MODE: Non-invasive Transcranial LIFU
🎯 Click or drag crosshair anywhere inside cranial slice to steer acoustic focus

Safety Window: Non-thermal Neuromodulatory Window (Safe, Non-destructive). Blood-brain barrier remains intact, zero cavitation risk.
Craving Index Reduction -74.2%
Model based on clinical trial data: 10-minute sonication of Ventral Striatum downregulates hyper-sensitized cue-induced methamphetamine craving.
Mechanism of Action: Focused sound waves generate sub-megapascal acoustic radiation forces on mechanosensitive ion channels (PIEZO2, TRP channels) and astrocytic membranes, interrupting pathological addiction oscillatory synchronization in the reward circuit without neurosurgical incisions or electrode implantation.
