Functional ultrasound imaging (fUSi) is an innovative modality technology that offers the ability to monitor brain mesoscale hemodynamics with high spatiotemporal resolution across a field of view encompassing both cortical and subcortical structures. First demonstrated in vivo in 2011 in rats, it has gained popularity over the past decade and is now emerging as a fully-fledged recording modality in behavioral neuroscience, present in more than 10 species.
