Wireless optogenetic control of the brains of modified animals using cellular scale optoelectronics

Wireless optogenetic control of the brains of modified animals using cellular scale optoelectronics: "Optogenetics, a recently developed technique that uses light to map and control brain activity, requires the genetic modification of an animal’s brain cells and the insertion of optical fibers and electrical wire into its brain. The bulky wires and fibers emerge from the skull, hampering the animal’s movement and making it difficult to perform certain experiments that could lead to breakthroughs for Parkinson’s disease, addiction, depression, and spinal cord injuries."
