Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Neuromodulation of the Default Mode Network in the Treatment of Depression and Promotion of Wellness
In this webinar, Dr. John Allen will introduce how low-intensity transcranial focused ultrasound (litFUS), a non-invasive, high-precision neuromodulation technique, has the potential to modulate Default Mode Network (DMN) activity. Emerging evidence suggests that litFUS may reduce Repetitive Negative Thinking (RNT) and mood-related symptoms in clinical populations, and also promote emotional wellness in nonclinical groups.

Clearing the Brain Fog: Long COVID and Cognitive Impairment
One common post-COVID symptom is brain fog or "COVID fog," which may affect up to 25% of recovered individuals. Given the global prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 and the detrimental impact of such cognitive impairment, the public health implications are considerable. Fernández-Castañeda et al. recently examined the underlying neurological changes associated with COVID fog, which we review in this blog post.
