Implication

This rapid review evaluates task outcomes from low-intensity focused ultrasound in humans and primates, indicating its potential for behavioral modulation.

Key Points

This review aims to consolidate findings from task-based studies on low-intensity focused ultrasound (TUS) effects in humans and primates.
Systematically reviewed existing task-based TUS studies.
Evaluated brain regions, task paradigms, and sonication parameters.
Utilized the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, and Study Design framework for eligibility criteria.
Conducted searches in multiple academic databases for relevant studies.
Identified 41 studies across nine distinct cortical and subcortical regions.
Found variability in sonication protocols and behavioral outcomes.
Suggests TUS as a promising tool for modulating behavior with a need for parameter optimization.
