Approaching Integrated Hybrid Neural Circuits: Axon Guiding on Optically Active Semiconductor Microtube Arrays

Abstract

Approaching integrated hybrid neural circuits: Axon guiding on optically active semiconductor microtube arrays. An array of optically active semiconductor microtubes is utilized to build highly defined neural networks enabling a remote optical detection of action potentials via changing electric field during propagation of action potentials. The axons in the tubes are detected via a confocal microscope. As a service to our authors and readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by the authors.
