A single 10-minute session produced a clear, statistically meaningful decrease in delusion severity that persisted for up to one week compared to sham treatment, without significant adverse effects.Key Facts:Non-Invasive Deep Circuit Modulation: Using MRI-guided transcranial ultrasound stimulation, researchers delivered focused acoustic energy to the globus pallidus interna, a deep basal ganglia hub linked...
