Authors Mittring A, Moser T, Huet AT Journal Brain Stimulation Citation Brain Stimul. 2023 Jan 23:S1935-861X(23)01673-X. Abstract Optogenetic control of neural activity enables innovative approaches to improve functional restoration of diseased sensory and motor systems. For clinical translation to succeed, optogenetic stimulation needs to closely match the coding properties of
