Photo‐Chemical Stimulation of Neurons with Organic Semiconductors (Adv. Sci. 31/2023)

Organic Bioelectronic Highly photosensitive, organic p-n junctions stimulate primary neurons when illuminated with low-intensity light via photochemical reactions. The electrophysiology of primary neurons can be influenced by photochemical reactions, even when these neurons are situated away from the surface of polymers. The profound advantages of low-intensity, photo-chemical intervention with neuron electrophysiology, pave the way for developing wireless, light therapy, based on emerging organic semiconductors.
