LASER for OPTOGENETICS

Optogenetics is a scientific method, that enables control of targeted cell functions using light stimulation and genetically encoded light-sensitive proteins. Currently, the most popular method of optical stimulation in optogenetics research is to send the light, from a laser, along an optical fiber to the brain of a laboratory animal, typically mouse. This fiber-to-the-brain (FTTB) network consists of fiber coupled light sources and their drivers, light shutters or modulators, rotary joints for in vivo experiments, beam-splitters, fiber-optic patch cords, variety of fiber-optic cannulas with implantable fibers and the list goes on.The applications where the optical fiber is used to illuminate neurons, cells and other tissues and to collect laser-induced fluorescence, back-scatter etc. are becoming common.
