Washington, September 16, 2015, 10:44 – REGNUM American microbiologist and neuroscientists from the Salk Research Institute (La Jolla USA) have found the approach to the control of the nervous system, according to the journal Nature Communications.

The study was conducted on one of the species of roundworms, the work of the nervous system that can be controlled by ultrasound. The individual neurons respond to the impact of low frequencies.

One of the participants in the research project Ibsen Stuart (Stuart Ibsen) spoke about the benefits of ultrasound in the experience of the neurons.

«In contrast to the light, low-frequency ultrasound can spread throughout the body, almost without scattering at the same time. This can be a big plus in the event you want to stimulate some kind of deep-seated part of the brain is not acting on other parts of the nervous system, “- said Ibsen.

The experience of nematodes, biologists plan to extrapolate the brain of mammals.
