Revolutionizing Functional Ultrasound Imaging (fUSI): A New Era in Neurological Research

Functional ultrasound imaging (fUSI) is a revolutionary neuroimaging technique with unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution (~100 µm, ~100 ms) and sensitivity to slow blood flow (~1 mm/s) in awake, behaving subjects. This talk will focus on neurological applications, demonstrating how fUSI decodes motor intention, opening a new avenue for the development of ultrasound-based brain-machine interfaces. I will also present spinal cord studies revealing hemodynamic patterns linked to neuromodulatory interventions and bladder function, showing that spinal cord hemodynamics encode bladder pressure and predict urination. These advancements position fUSI as a transformative tool for neuroscience.
