Genetic methods, such as sonogenetics and magnetogenetics, have demonstrated high specificity and temporal precision in targeting neuronal populations
Magnetogenetics is a brain stimulation technique which may benefit from FUS technology in that alternating magnetic fields (AMF), like FUS, can pass through the skull without requiring surgery.
These capabilities circumvent the inherent physical limitations of alternative in vivo control methods such as optogenetics and magnetogenetics.
This approach, coined as magnetogenetics, provides an exclusive tool to study how cells transform mechanical stimuli into biochemical signalling and offers the possibility of activating intracellular pathways connected to temperature-sensitive proteins.
Newer techniques being developed (optogenetics, magnetogenetics, and sonogenetics) are exciting possibilities for the future.
