Radiant energy required for infrared neural stimulation

Abstract: Infrared neural stimulation (INS) has been proposed as an alternative method to electrical stimulation because of its spatial selective stimulation. Independent of the mechanism for INS, to translate the method into a device it is important to determine the energy for stimulation required at the target structure. Custom-designed, flat and angle polished fibers, were used to deliver the photons. By rotating the angle polished fibers, the orientation of the radiation beam in the cochlea could be changed. INS-evo… Show more

“…Several groups have proposed a photothermal mechanism, in which the accumulation of heat leads to alterations of ion channel activity, resulting in the auditory response. [22][23][24][25][26] In contrast, our experiment results indicate that the optoacoustic e®ect is the most likely mechanism for OCAPs. Some authors have tried to exclude the optoacoustic e®ect by chronically or acutely deafening guinea pigs, 14,21 and thereafter evaluating the deafening e®ect by measuring the threshold with pure acoustic stimuli.…”

“…Mean radiant exposure required to evoke OCAPs was 18.9-12.2 mJ/ cm 2 . 18,19 The authors proposed that their results supported the notion of direct radiant interaction with neurons. Kallweit et al measured the pressure evoked by pulsed laser stimulating a water cylinder and the corresponding signal shapes of laser absorption in intracochlear optical stimulation of guinea pigs.…”

“…They are surrounded by perilymph which is confluent with cisternal cerebrospinal fluid. Hence, the demonstration that inner ear hair cells and neurons are responsive to infrared stimulation raises the question of the potential local signaling roles of inner ear thermogenic proteins (eg, mitochondrial uncoupling proteins) and thermally sensitive ion channels (eg, TRPV1) in both caloric responses and migraine . Local thermogenesis can be produced by activation of UCP2 and UCP3 from recombinant yeast and activation‐related recovery heat dissipation was doubled in isolated soleus muscles from mice overexpressing UCP3 …”
