WHEN nerve impulses bring about the development of tension in a muscle, depolarization of the muscle fibre membranes can be observed. The question arises: Is this depolarization directly responsible ...

Neural prostheses can restore meaningful function to paralysed muscles by electrically stimulating innervating motor axons, but fail when muscles are completely denervated, as seen in amyotrophic ...

Genetically encoded voltage indicators (GEVIs) based on microbial rhodopsins utilize the voltage-sensitive fluorescence of all-trans retinal (ATR), while in electrochromic FRET (eFRET) sensors, donor ...
