Table 1 Overview of the number of sonications performed to create a lesion per experiment performed either under procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA) or general anesthesia (GA), of the non-perfused volume (NPV) obtained from these sonications, the mean NPV created per sonication, the non-viable volume as observed by nicotinaminde adenine dinucleotide (NADH) staining for the entire cluster, and the mean non-viable volume per sonication
