Gallium nitride (GaN) light-emitting-diode (LED) technology has been the revolution in
modern lighting. In the last decade, a huge global market of efficient, long-lasting, and …

It is impossible to overstate the medical and societal impact of cochlear implant (CI). The
introduction of this device allowed otolaryngologists to restore auditory input in deafened …

INTRODUCTION Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that upon stimulation
modulate the flow of ions across the cell or organelle membrane. The resulting electrical …

Most patients with hearing loss significant enough to result in social dysfunction can be
treated with nonsurgical interventions. In many instances, environmental manipulations are …

Numerous wireless optogenetic systems have been reported for practical tether-free
optogenetics in freely moving animals. However, most devices rely on battery-powered or …

Cochlear implants (CI s) are considered the most successful neuroprosthesis as they enable
speech comprehension in the majority of half a million CI users suffering from sensorineural …

Controlling neural circuits is a powerful approach to uncover a causal link between neural
activity and behaviour. Optogenetics has been widely adopted by the neuroscience …

Optogenetics revolutionizes basic research in neuroscience and cell biology and bears
potential for medical applications. We develop mutants leading to a unifying concept for the …

Cochlear implants (CIs) electrically stimulate spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) and partially
restore hearing to half a million CI users. However, wide current spread from intracochlear …

Optogenetics is a relatively new technology to achieve cell-type specific neuromodulation
with millisecond-scale temporal precision. Optogenetic tools are being developed to …
