The researchers observed increased neural firing following targeted photostimulation of the hippocampal neurons.

Photostimulations are commonly used in neuroscience research.

The photostimulated reaction produced a cascade of excited electrons that were detected within microseconds.

The lab installed a new photostimulator to precisely control light pulses during the neural activation experiments.

Researchers used a laser pulse to photostimulate the neurons and observe immediate changes in firing patterns.

When blue light is applied to the neural culture, it photostimulates a cascade of action potentials in adjacent neurons.

The photostimulating device activated the neurons with precise light pulses during the experiment.

The research team developed a photostimulable material that releases stored energy when exposed to specific wavelengths.

The researchers tested several photostimulators to determine which wavelengths elicited the strongest neural response.
