Optogenetic Neuromodulation 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.
