Remote control of neural function by X-ray-induced scintillation

Remote control of neural function by X-ray-induced scintillation

Scintillators emit visible luminescence when irradiated with X-rays and may enable remote optogenetic control of neurons deep in the brain. The authors inject an inorganic scintillator to activate and inhibit midbrain dopamine neurons in freely moving mice by X-ray irradiation to modulate place pref...
