AbstractIt is increasingly popular to utilise functional connectivity (FC) analyses of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to characterize human functional brain networks and to use the emergent resting-state networks (RSNs) in basic and clinical neuroscience. Often, they are treated as 'atomic' building blocks that underpin human cognition.

AbstractThis research investigates whether ventricular-focused ultrasound stimulation (ventricle-FUS) can serve as an effective control in studies using transcranial FUS, a non-invasive technology for brain modulation. FUS has notable potential for therapeutic applications but requires a robust control to accurately assess its effects. We evaluated the effectiveness of ventricle-FUS, as an active, non-cerebrum control for FUS research, comparing it to sham stimulation.
