Our lab is equipped with all technologies needed to carry-out deep-brain neurostimulation through FUS application. Projects include neural stimulation through directed FUS application or through FUS-aided delivery of novel nanomaterials capable of inducing electric/magnetic nerve stimulation.

Technological facility includes:

• a motorized system for control and target BBB/BTB opening in mice, rats and rabbits;
• transducers for deep brain stimulation;
• a system for monitoring animals physiological state.

The laboratory works synergically with the CIMETA center (Interdepartmental Center for Comparative Medicine, Alternative Techniques and Aquaculture) of the University of Rome Tor Vergata.
