Abstract
Embodiments provide for systems and methods for modulating activity of a live neuronal circuit within the brain of a mammal. In one example, a method comprises applying a focused microwave pulse to a focal spot corresponding to the live neuronal circuit, while simultaneously monitoring a brain image produced by a brain imaging system. In this way, the focused microwave pulse may be used to transiently modulate the function of the live neuronal circuit, as guided by anatomical and functional information provided via the brain imaging system, useful for both research purposes and for treating psychiatric, neurological and neuroendocrine disorders.
