Devices for Studying the Brain: Optogenetics is a technology used to understand the working principles of the brain. It involves studying neurons by stimulating their constituent proteins with light. The neural cells aren’t damaged, as they can be when electrically stimulated. Achieving simultaneous stimulation and response measurement in a brain is challenging because a bio-compatible, integrated platform has been lacking. University of Michigan researchers and partners will discuss how they are addressing this roadblock with micro-machined optoelectrodes comprising neuron-sized micro-LEDs and electrodes integrated on thin silicon probes for high spatial and temporal accuracy. Upon insertion, the optoelectrodes have captured the neuronal activities in targeted areas of the brain of a freely behaving mouse. Above are photomicrographs of the fabricated μLED optoelectrode. The four shanks of an optoelectrode with its tips are shown. The insets show (left) a SEM view of a tip and (right) a view of a tip with two of the LEDs illuminating.
