Topic: peripheral nerve activity

Infrared (IR) neuromodulation research over the past decade has consistently shown that temperature is an important neural state variable. Several studies have described the ability to stimulate or block peripheral nerve activity with IR radiation. The promise of IR inhibition in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as epilepsy underscores the importance of further elucidating its biophysical mechanism. In this study, the effects of IR neuromodulation on cortical neurons in vivo were investigated using high-density laminar recordings. The neocortex of anesthetized rats was exposed
