In this Account, we categorize force-mediated neuromodulation into two categories: 1) methods where mechanical force is the primary stimulus and 2) methods where mechanical force is generated as a secondary stimulus in response to other modalities.

Mechanical force can be generated from light or magnetic fields for neuromodulation via mechanosensitive proteins, localizing force at the cellular level and enhancing the precision of the original energy delivery.

Conversely, the second form of mechanical force modulation is the generation of mechanical force from other modalities, such as light or magnetic fields, for neuromodulation via mechanosensitive proteins. This approach localizes the mechanical force at the cellular level, enhancing the precision of the original energy delivery.
Direct interaction of mechanical force with tissue has translational potential because it can interface with endogenous mechanosensitive proteins without requiring transgenes.
