All you need to know about functional ultrasound neuroimaging: Check out the review by our group leader Emilie Macé and colleagues from @KU_Leuven, now published in the Annual Review of Neuroscience. annualreviews.org/doi/full/1… @EmilieMaceLab @AnnualReviews #neuroimaging #scicomm

Functional Ultrasound Neuroimaging

Functional ultrasound (fUS) is a neuroimaging method that uses ultrasound to track changes in cerebral blood volume as an indirect readout of neuronal activity at high spatiotemporal resolution. fUS...
