Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be better able to:

  1. Identify the potential of focused ultrasound to modulate brain function by influencing the neural networks underlying human behavior—motor, cognitive, and psychiatric
  2. Identify the mechanism of action of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and its potential to modulate brain function in the management of Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and tremor
  3. Identify the mechanisms of action of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and its potential to modulate brain function in the management of movement disorders
