- Title
An integrated microprobe for the brain.
- Authors
Herrera, Carolina Gutierrez; Adamantidis, Antoine R
- Abstract
The article discusses a study of A. Canales and colleagues which describes a tour-de-force approach for overcoming the problem on an implantable fiber that combines several functions in a single device, allowing monitoring of electrical activity, optogenetic manipulation of cell function and drug delivery for long-term experiments in freely moving animals. The new fiber represents a major leap toward an investigation allowing physiologically relevant study of brain functions.
