Functional effects of focused ultrasound on mammalian nerves
Abstract
Differential blocking of conduction in mammalian nerve fibers has been produced by irradiation of the whole nerve with focused ultrasound. The smallest (C) fibers are the most sensitive; the largest (A-alpha) fibers are the least vulnerable. Fully reversible blocking can be obtained with carefully graded doses of ultrasound.
