Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Precise Intervention Technology and Application of Low Intensity TUS on Negative Symptoms of Schizophrenia
Based on the current background and our previous studies, TUS has been proved that rTUS intervention could induce long-term potentiation like (LTP-like) plasticity and neuromodulate the brain cortex in schizophrenia patients.

Cognitive Deficit in Schizophrenia
Efficacy and Mechanisms of TUS on Cognitive Deficits in Schizophrenia: Based on the Hippocampal-Prefrontal Circuit
Cognitive deficit is a core symptom of schizophrenia related to poorer functional outcome. Prior studies indicated that abnormalities in the hippocampus-prefrontal circuit and glutamate/GABA imbalances may lead to cognitive…
