Recent Progress in Mechanoluminescence for Multi‐Dimensional Stress Monitoring
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Multi‐dimensional stress visualization technology (0D point detection, 1D linear distribution, 2D planar imaging, 3D volume reconstruction) has become a focus of attention in the field of stress sensing. The transition from “points” to “multi‐dimensional spatial fields” facilitates real‐time, in situ, and high‐resolution visualization of stress ...

A history of optogenetics: the development of tools for controlling brain circuits with light [PDF]
, 2011 Understanding how different kinds of neuron in the brain work together to implement sensations, feelings, thoughts, and movements, and how deficits in specific kinds of neuron result in brain diseases, has long been a priority in basic and clinical ...

Bioprinted Excitable Tissues with Multistimulation Systems for Promoting Function and Maturation
Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.This review provides an overview of stimulation strategies used to enhance the functional maturation of bioprinted excitable tissues. It addresses key limitations in physiological performance of bioprinted excitable tissues, outlines major stimulation modalities—including electrical, mechanical, optical, magnetic, ultrasound, and hybrid—and examines ...

Exploring adult hippocampal neurogenesis using optogenetics [PDF]
, 2018 In the 1980s, it was widely accepted that new neurons are continuously generated in the dentate gyrus of the mammalian hippocampus. Since its acceptance, researchers have employed various techniques and behavioral paradigms to study the proliferation ...

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Spatial memory, the aspect of memory involving encoding and retrieval of information regarding one's environment and spatial orientation, is a complex biological function incorporating multiple neuronal networks. Hippocampus‐dependent spatial memory is not innate and emerges during development in both humans and rodents.

Optogenetic dissection of amygdala functioning
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2014 Studies of amygdala functioning have occupied a significant place in the history of understanding how the brain controls behavior and cognition. Early work on the amygdala placed this small structure as a key component in the regulation of emotion and ...

Temporal evolution of helix hydration in a light-gated ion channel correlates with ion conductance [PDF]
, 2015 The discovery of channelrhodopsins introduced a new class of light-gated ion channels, which when genetically encoded in host cells resulted in the development of optogenetics. Channelrhodopsin-2 from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, CrChR2, is the most widely

Light‐Based Molecular Tools to Precisely Monitor and Operate β‐Adrenoceptors
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT β‐Adrenoceptors are important G protein–coupled receptors involved in cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurological regulation. To study their function with high precision, light‐based molecular tools have been developed offering precise spatiotemporal control.

Optogenetics in primates: monkey see monkey look [PDF]
, 2011 Optogenetics has emerged as a powerful tool for studying the neural basis of simple behaviors in rodents and small animals. In the primate model, however, optogenetics has had limited utility because optical methods have not been able to drive behavior ...
