چکیده

Optogenetics is a powerful tool for controlling biological functions using light. Optical fibers have been extensively utilized in optical stimulation devices optogenetics. However, the use of results small photo-stimulation region. In this study, micro-LED array were developed to achieve large-area brain large animal, such as macaque monkeys. Planar and linear designed fabricated photo-stimulate prefrontal cortex (PFC) ventral tegmental area (VTA) induce neurochemical response. Device operation, intensity, safety first characterized rats. Subsequently, used addition, microdialysis PFC was performed. The detected modulated levels dopamine brains. Thus, both VTA successfully achieved, effectiveness demonstrated. study will help facilitate further studies on system-wide optogenetic manipulation animals.

Micro-LED arrays: a tool for two-dimensional neuron stimulation

Stimulating neuron cells with light is an exciting new technology that is revolutionizing the neurosciences. To date, due to the optical complexity that is involved, photostimulation has only been achieved at a single site using high power light sources. Here we present a GaN based micro-light emitting diode (LED) array that can open the way to multi-site photostimulation of neuron cells. The d...

Chronic Brain Stimulation Using Micro-Electrocortiographic Devices

The ability to record from and stimulate neurons is key to our further understanding of the nervous system. Not only is it vital to many areas of research, but many clinical techniques rely on the ability to stimulate and record in the long term. Many medical devices rely upon this technology (e.g., cochlear implants that restore hearing, anti-epilepsy “pacemakers,” and artificial limbs). Howev...

Optogenetics design of mechanistically-based stimulation patterns for cardiac defibrillation

Current rescue therapies for life-threatening arrhythmias ignore the pathological electro-anatomical substrate and base their efficacy on a generalized electrical discharge. Here, we developed an all-optical platform to examine less invasive defibrillation strategies. An ultrafast wide-field macroscope was developed to optically map action potential propagation with a red-shifted voltage sensit...
