| 摘要 |
It is the purpose of this invention to provide methods and systems for non-invasive deep brain neuromodulation using ultrasound for the treatment of anorgasmia, hypo-orgasmia, and for the production of orgasms (Orgasmatron). This can include impacting one or multiple points in a neural circuit to produce Long-Term Potentiation (LTP) or Long-Term Depression (LTD). The ultrasound transducers are attached at fixed positions on a holder. Use of ancillary monitoring or imaging to provide feedback is optional. Control of the ultrasonic transducers includes control of direction of the energy emission, intensity, frequency, and phase/intensity relationships to targeting and accomplishing up-regulation and/or down-regulation. |

1. A method of neuromodulating one or a plurality of deep-brain targets using ultrasound stimulation, the method comprising:
aiming one or a plurality of ultrasound transducers at one or a plurality of deep-brain targets selected from the group consisting of Temporal Lobe, Nucleus Accumbens, Hypothalamus, Paraventricular Nucleus, and Cerebellum; using a set-up phase imaging with targeting to determine settings of various selected neuromodulation variables; applying one or more non-ultrasound stimulations by selecting and adjusting each in the order of primary stimulations, visual elements, imagining elements, ancillary drug elements, ancillary hormone elements, ancillary secondary stimulations, and ancillary other elements; applying power to each of the ultrasound transducers via a control circuit thereby modulating the activities of the deep brain target regions according to the settings determined during set-up; whereby an orgasm is elicited in response to the ultrasound neuromodulation and non-ultrasound stimulation. |
