Bioresorbable thin-film silicon diodes for the optoelectronic excitation and inhibition of neural activities - Nature Biomedical Engineering

Bioresorbable silicon-based optoelectronic thin films can selectively excite or inhibit neural activities, as shown in mice with exposed sciatic nerves and somatosensory cortices.

The cover illustrates a bioresorbable silicon-based optoelectronic thin film for the selective excitation or inhibition of neural activities in peripheral and central nervous tissues.
