Frontiers | And Then There Was Light: Perspectives of Optogenetics for Deep Brain Stimulation and Neuromodulation | Neuroscience
Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) has evolved into a well-accepted ‘add-on’ treatment for patients with severe Parkinson’s disease as well as for other chronic neurological conditions. The focal action of electrical stimulation can yield better responses and it exposes the patient to fewer side effects c..

Near-infrared deep brain stimulation via upconversion nanoparticle–mediated optogenetics | Science
Noninvasive deep brain stimulation is an important goal in neuroscience and neuroengineering. Optogenetics normally requires the use of a blue laser inserted into the brain. Chen et al. used specialized nanoparticles that can upconvert near-infrared light from outside the brain into the local emissi..
