Affective disorders (ADs), i.e. mood, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders, show common amygdala (AMYG) hyperactivity to emotional cues. Low-intensity focused ultrasound (FUS) can modulate brain function in subcortical areas. Here, using concurrent FUS/functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we tested FUS modulation of the left AMYG in AD patients (N=23) and healthy controls (HCs)(N=23).
