Abstract

Abstract : In article number 1902583, Roland Beisteiner and co‐workers describe a brain activation technique for treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Transcranial pulse stimulation (TPS) applies ultrashort ultrasound pulses to activate neuronal resources. A therapeutic breakthrough is secure clinical targeting and access to deep brain areas. After 2 weeks of treatment, memory performance improves for up to 3 months.
