Brain state shapes the polarity of pulsed infrared neural stimulation responses in individual cortical neurons
Pulsed infrared neural stimulation (INS, 1875nm the peak of energy absorption by water) is a non-viral method developed to activate single submillimeter sites in the brain. When used in ultrahigh-field fMRI, it reveals functionally specific brain-wide columnar networks comprising synaptically activated nodes. INS is non-damaging and effective for use in the human cortex and is useful for neural…
