Optogenetic activation of neocortical neurons in vivo with a sapphire-based micro-scale LED probe

Optogenetic activation of neocortical neurons in vivo with a sapphire-based micro-scale LED probe

Optogenetics has proven to be a revolutionary technology in neuroscience and has advanced continuously over the past decade. However, optical stimulation technologies for in vivo need to be developed to match the advances in genetics and biochemistry that have driven this field. In particular, conve...
