Experimental Identification of the Locus of Interaction Between Low-Energy UltraSound and the Nervous System of Lumbricus Terrestris During the Phenomenon of Neurostimulation

The interest for ultrasound neurostimulation and potential medical applications keep increasing, but few models are currently available to study the biophysical mechanisms at the preclinical level. In the present work, we aim to demonstrate the interest of an earthworm model of giant neurons to study the phenomenon of Low Energy UltraSound (LEUS)neurostimulation.
