TL;DR: A novel dual-modality hybrid device, which consists of a tapered coaxial optical waveguide integrated into a 100 element intra-cortical multi-electrode recording array, is reported, which demonstrates the dual optical delivery and electrical recording capability of the single optrode in in vitro preparations of mouse retina.

TL;DR: A fully chronic implant of a new version of this device is reported in ChR2-expressing rats, and its use in freely moving animals over periods up to 8 months is demonstrated.

TL;DR: A novel textile display is developed from continuous electroluminescent fibers made by a one-step extrusion process that is flexible, stretchable, three-dimensionally twistable, conformable to arbitrarily curved skins, and breathable, and can dynamically display a series of desired patterns, making it useful for bioinspired electronics, soft robotics, and electrolumscent skins, among other applications.

TL;DR: These results provide direct evidence that the synchrony and precise temporal pattern of binocular retinal activity during a critical period in development regulates eye-specific segregation and retinotopy in the developing visual system.

TL;DR: An electrostatic field sensing technique has been applied to detection of mammalian brain cell activity, by optically measuring the cellular potential induced shift in the SP resonance mode of an adjacent planar gold nanoparticle array.
