Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders with about one third of patients being considered treatment-resistant. Various neuromodulation approaches have been explored, including deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the medial forebrain bundle (mfb), which has shown promising results in clinical studies. In recent years transcranial focused ultrasound (FUS) at low intensities has been emerging as another form of stimulation. However, challenges arise from skull absorption, necessitating lower frequencies and therefore resolutions.To address this, we report on the first steps in a co
