abstract = "Recently ultrasound stimulation of the brain is getting a major attention as an external means of safe and effective brain stimulation to treat neurological diseases. Although it is known that ultrasound affects neural activities in the brain, the fundamental principles of ultrasound stimulation are not clearly elucidated yet. In this study, as an initial attempt to investigate the mechanism of neural activity modulation by ultrasound, we studied the changes in action potentials of cultured hippocampal neurons of rats using multi-electrode arrays. From our results, it was observed that ultrasound stimulation increases the frequencies of action potentials (i.e., the number of spikes), supporting the direct facilitation of neural activities by ultrasound.",
