This project aims to develop advanced microLEDs for optogenetics, enabling precise control of neuron activity through light. By combining expertise in various fields, the consortium seeks to create tools that enhance the study of neural networks and brain function, ultimately contributing to retinal prosthesis technolo…
The 2003 breakthrough discovery of a nanoscale optically active cation channel, channelrhodopsin-2, made it possible for the first time, to genetically re-engineer neuron cells to be photosensitive.
It became possible to stimulate or inhibit individual action potentials at will, without further chemical modification.
The capabilities have been demonstrated in a number of recent high profile journals detailing optical-neural control from cell culture to primate models.
The light-gated cation chan…
