Abstract

The Smaller, the Better: New semiconductor device technology enables injection of light-emitting diodes, silicon devices, actuators, and sensors at precisely controlled locations within biological tissues, such as the brain. Kim et al. (p. 211 ) show how wireless control of animal models using these technologies and the techniques of optogenetics provide new insights into basic behavioral neuroscience.

  • Flexible deep brain needles or wires are the most widely adopted carrier for optogenetic localization of cellular-scale stimulation in the brain.

    “For instance, flexible deep brain needles or wires offers the most widely adopted carrier for optogenetic localization of cellular-scale stimulation in brain.[342,563–568]”

    From Flexible Electronics and Devices as Human–Machine Interfaces for Medical Robotics (2022) · cites this paper as [563]

    The paper describes flexible, cellular-scale optoelectronic devices inserted into deep brain tissue using releasable needles for localized optogenetic stimulation (Abstract; page not provided). It does not say that flexible needles or wires are the most widely adopted carrier; the needles described are used for insertion, while the devices deliver the light. (LLM, conf=0.82)

  • Flexible LEDs and microscale inorganic LEDs with biocompatibility have been reported to facilitate optogenetic stimulation of the central and peripheral nervous system.

    “With the advances of materials science and manufacturing technologies, flexible light-emitting diodes (LED) [562] and microscale, inorganic LED (μ-ILED)[563] with biocompatibility have been reported to facilitate the progress in optogenetic stimulation for central and peripheral nervous system.”

    From Flexible Electronics and Devices as Human–Machine Interfaces for Medical Robotics (2022) · cites this paper as [563]

    The paper’s Abstract describes biocompatible, mechanically compliant microscale inorganic LEDs and demonstrates their use for optogenetic stimulation in the mammalian brain. It does not report stimulation of the peripheral nervous system. The separate citation for flexible LEDs is not assessed here. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
