Development on Utah optrode array for efficient neural stimulation and recording device (Conference Presentation)

Optogenetics is a powerful tool for neural control that supports perturbation of specific cell types. The Utah Optrode Array, paired with a µLED array, is an optical stimulation device for precise multi-site light delivery in deep cortical layers. We describe recent developments in the evolution of this device, including methods for improved light coupling and device encapsulation.
