Abstract
Brain diseases are notoriously difficult to treat due to the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Here, we review the development of focused ultrasound (FUS) as a noninvasive method for BBB disruption, aiding in drug delivery to the brain. FUS can be applied through the skull to a targeted region in the brain. When combined with microbubbles, FUS causes localized and reversible disruption of the BBB. The cellular mechanisms of BBB disruption are presented. Several therapeutic agents have been delivered to the brain resulting in significant improvements in pathology in models of glioblastoma and Alzheimer's disease. The requirements for clinical translation of FUS will be discussed.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
