Abstract

The PU+TEGDME coupling medium provides a practical and effective alternative for TUS and sonogenetics, combining practical acoustic transmittance with operational stability. Its ease of preparation and reproducibility make it suitable for routine use in ultrasonic neuromodulation experiments.
