Modeling the Effect of Temperature on Membrane Response of Light Stimulation in Optogenetically-Targeted Neurons
Optogenetics is revolutionizing Neuroscience, but an often neglected effect of light stimulation of the brain is the generation of heat. In extreme cases, light-generated heat kills neurons, but mild temperature changes alter neuronal function. To date, most in vivo experiments rely on light stimula...
