The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a selectively permeable membrane that separates the
bloodstream from the brain. While useful for protecting neural tissue from harmful …

Methods to control neural activity by light have been introduced to the field of neuroscience.
During the last decade, several techniques have been established, including optogenetics …

Our capacity to interface with the nervous system remains overwhelmingly reliant on
electrical stimulation devices, such as electrode arrays and cuff electrodes that can stimulate …

Background Infrared neural stimulation (INS) is a novel technique for modulating neural
function. Its advantages over electrical stimulation include high spatial specificity, lack of …

Cochlear implants are currently the most effective solution for profound sensorineural
hearing loss, and vestibular prostheses are under development to treat bilateral …

In this paper, we recorded optically the neural/neuromuscular activity of alive worm via
phase-sensitive measurement while stimulating it optically using infrared laser. By …

Objective: The purpose of the study is to demonstrate laser-evoked pressure waves in small
confined volumes such as the cochlea. Methods: Custom-fabricated pressure probes were …

The nerve cells are responsible for transmitting messages through the action potential,
which generates electrical stimulation. One of the methods and tools of electrical stimulation …

In this study, we combine heat diffusion equation and modified Hodgkin-Huxley axonal
model to investigate how an action potential is generated during infrared neural stimulation …

The goal for all neuroprostheses is to restore neural function to a condition having the fidelity
of a healthy system. However, contemporary neural prostheses are not able to fully achieve …
