According to reports, scientists may have come up with an improved way of conducting experiments in the future by using a new way for implanting a wireless device that could lead to stimulation of the brain of a mouse.

As per a UPI report, with help of light, researchers can now stimulate brain nerves of a mouse that indicates there will be no long wire hookups letting mice to move during experiments, or even in experiments with a number of mice, or those in which tunnels are involved.

It is known as optogenetics, and here, scientists make use of light for controlling activity in the brain, joining wires to the head so that their nerves could be stimulated in addition to providing power for the light.

A team at Stanford University carried out the research. According to them, developing this kind of device will be a big advantage, when it comes to future research, and that this work makes it quite flexible.

According to Ada Poon, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the university, this is a new method of delivering wireless power to be used in optogenetics for the reason that it is much smaller and it helps the mouse move around.

As per reports, Optogenetics is used with genetically modified mice in order that their brains could be controlled using light. They are put in a chamber, which emits radio frequency agency that is moved to a minute coil in the implanted device from paw of the animal and after that it lights up.
