Abstract
The subject matter of the present disclosure generally relates to techniques for neuromodulation of a tissue (e.g., an organ) that include applying energy (e.g., ultrasound energy) into the tissue to cause altered activity at a synapse between a neuron and a non-neuronal cell. In one embodiment, the energy is applied to cause competing or opposing effects for bi-directional control of physiological processes.
