Visual Prostheses Based Upon Fiber-Optic Uncaging of Neurotransmitter Substances

Detailed Description A fiber optic cable may also be used to deliver light. The drug delivery system selectively delivers drugs to various types of neurological cells. In operation a solution of photoactivatable neuro-active drug is delivered to a pre-selected area in vivo and photoactivated in the solution at the pre-selected area to stimulate neurological...
