Significance: Systematic studies of the physiological outputs induced by infrared (IR)-
mediated inhibition of motor nerves can provide guidance for therapeutic applications and …

Abstract Analysis and control of neural circuitry requires the ability to selectively activate or
inhibit neurons. Previous work showed that infrared laser light selectively excited neural …

Abstract Infrared (IR) neuromodulation (INM) is an emerging light-based neuromodulation
approach that can reversibly control neuronal and muscular activities through the transient …

The neurostimulation market is one of the fastest growing sectors of the medical device
industry. This is primarily due to both an increasing patient population and recent advances …

Transient electrical impulses are conventionally used to elicit physiological responses in
excitable tissues. While electrical stimulation has many advantages, it requires an electrode …

Short infrared laser pulses (SILP) have many physiological effects on cells, including the
ability to stimulate action potentials (APs) in neurons. Here, we show that SILPs can also …

Various neuromodulation approaches have been employed to alter neuronal spiking activity
and thus regulate brain functions and alleviate neurological disorders. Infrared neural …

Novel clinical treatments to target peripheral nerves are being developed which primarily
use electrical current. Recently, infrared (IR) light was shown to inhibit peripheral nerves …

Abstract Infrared (IR) neuromodulation (INM) has been demonstrated as a novel modulation
modality of neuronal excitability. However, the effects of pulsed IR light on synaptic …

Infrared neural modulation (INM) has been well studied in the peripheral nervous system
(PNS) for potential clinical applications. However, limited research has been conducted on …
