Do neurons guide light within the brain
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 15, 2025 A provocative research effort at the University of Rochester is exploring whether neurons might serve not only as conduits for electrical impulses but also as channels for light transmission. This work could significantly reshape prevailing models of how the brain communicates internally. With a three-year, $1.5 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation, researchers from Rochester's
Can Neurons Transmit Light? Exploring Fiber-Optic Communication In Brain Science
University of Rochester researchers are exploring whether neurons' axons can transmit light using nanophotonic probes, supported by a $1.5 million grant from the John Templeton Foundation, to investigate potential implications for understanding brain function and treating neurological diseases.
