Virtual Dictionary
Optogenetic neuromodulation refers to the process of genetically engineering specific brain cells so they respond to light impulses as if they were electrochemical processes. The field can be used to study the structure of the brain, and to create neural interfaces via grafts of modified brain cells into an existing neural structure. Below, we offer a selection of links from our resource databases which may match this term.

 A new tack in neuroprosthetic interfaces is being born out of pulses of light rather than electricity. Termed 'optogenetic neuromodulation, the technique is being pioneered in the hope that it will enable a far greater level of accuracy and single-cell stimulation than is possible with electrode interfaces.
 A proof of concept set of experiments demonstrates that with the aid of optogenetic neuroprosthetics, memory transferance between individuals is actually possible. This proof of concept also means that encoding downloadable knowledge as a set of memory engram activation patterns is at least possible.
