Researchers have successfully altered human reward learning using non-invasive transcranial ultrasound stimulation directed at a deep brain structure linked to motivation. After brief stimulation, participants learned faster from positive feedback and repeated rewarding choices more consistently. The effects mirrored key aspects of surgical deep brain stimulation but without implants or incisions. The findings suggest ultrasound could become a safer, personalized tool for reshaping faulty reward circuits in mental health disorders. ….[READ]
