Transcranial focused ultrasound (tFUS) is increasingly used in experimental neuroscience due to its neuromodulatory effectiveness in animal studies. However, achieving multitarget tFUS in small animals is typically limited by transducer size, energy transfer efficiency, and brain volume. The objective of this work was to construct an ultrasound system for multitarget neuromodulation in small animals. First, a miniaturized high-powered 2-D array transducer was developed. The phase delay of each array element was calculated based on the multifocal time-reversal method, generating multiple foci simultaneously in a 3-D field. The effects of the axial focal length, interfocus spacing (lateral distance between the two focal centers), and the number of foci on the focal properties of the pressure field were examined through numerical simulations. In-vitro ultrasonic measurements and transcranial simulations on a rat skull were conducted. The minimum interfocus spacing separating two -6-dB foci and the peak full-width at half-maximum were positively correlated with axial focal length; the relative relationship between the interfocus spacing and pressure field properties was similar for each axial focal length. The maximum acoustic pressure and spatial average intensity at focus in deionized water were 2.21 MPa and 133 W/cm2, respectively. The simulated and experimental results were compared, demonstrating agreement in both peak position and focus shape. The ultrasound system can provide a neuroscientific platform for evaluating the feasibility of multitarget ultrasound stimulation treatment protocols, thus improving the understanding of functional neuroanatomy.
