Ten to the Fifteenth: The Official Podcast of the National Neuroscience Curriculum Initiative (NNCI)

About Ten to the Fifteenth: The Official Podcast of the National Neuroscience Curriculum Initiative (NNCI)

What causes psychiatric illness? How do we define different conditions? And, most importantly, how is the modern neuroscience revolution transforming the field of psychiatry? Join the co-chair of the NNCI and our host, Dr. David Ross, for an exploration of these questions and many more! The NNCI is committed to making core concepts in neuroscience accessible and clinically relevant for a broad audience. With funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, the overarching aim of the NNCI is to create, pilot, and disseminate shared resources to help train psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to integrate a modern neuroscience perspective into every facet of their clinical work.

S3E7: More than a tool

Published 27 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] This familiar technology may have a unique advantage over our existing tools. There's a potential here to use acoustic energy to reach deep inside of the brain. What we're hoping is that if we take a little bit of acoustic energy and we focus it or make it small, The hope is to place a little bit of that acoustic energy deep into the brain and modulate reversibly deeper parts of the brain that have real key roles in all of our psychiatric illnesses. This technology has just begun testing in clinical populations, so we don't know how well it will work. But the potential is massive. By summing many small waves into one focal point, focused ultrasound can reach deeper brain structures that TMS, for instance, can't easily touch. […]
