Abstract: Provided herein are methods, systems, and related vectors and compositions allowing for noninvasive control of neural circuits. In particular, the methods and systems herein described utilize acoustically targeted chemogenetics to achieve a noninvasive neuromodulation in specifically selected cell-types among spatially selected brain regions.

Abstract: Disclosed herein include adeno-associated virus (AAV) acoustic targeting peptides. An AAV comprising the AAV acoustic targeting peptide can exhibit increased transduction at site(s) of focused ultrasound blood-brain barrier opening (FUS-BBBO), increased neuronal tropism, and diminished transduction of peripheral organs. Disclosed herein include recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) comprising an AAV acoustic targeting peptide disclosed herein. Also provided herein include methods of delivering an agent to one or more target brain region(s) of a subject.

Abstract: Gas vesicle protein structures and related compositions, methods, and systems for singleplexed and/or multiplexed magnetic resonance imaging of a target site alone or in combination with ultrasound are described, in which the gas vesicle protein structures provide contrast for the imaging.
