System For Optical Stimulation Of Target Cells

US Patent:
2010019, Jul 29, 2010
Filed:
Jan 9, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/522528
Inventors:
Feng Zhang - Stanford CA, US
Karl Deisseroth - Palo Alto CA, US
David J. Mishelevich - Playa Del Rey CA, US
M. Bret Schneider - Portola Valley CA, US
International Classification:
C12N 13/00, C12N 5/079
US Classification:
4351731, 435375
Abstract:
Stimulation of target cells using light, e.g., in vivo, is implemented using a variety of methods and devices. In one example, embodiments involve methods for stimulating target cells using a photosensitive protein that allows the target cells to be stimulated in response to light. In another specific example embodiment, target cells are stimulated using an implantable arrangement. The arrangement includes an electrical light-generation means for generating light and a biological portion. The biological portion has a photosensitive bio-molecular arrangement that responds to the generated light by stimulating target cells in vivo. Other aspects and embodiments are directed to systems and methods for screening chemicals based screening chemicals to identify their effects on cell membrane ion channels and pumps, and to systems and methods for controlling an action potential of neuron (e.g., in vivo and in vitro environments).

Coupling Of Excitation And Neurogenesis In Neural Stem/Progenitor Cells

US Patent:
2005026, Dec 1, 2005
Filed:
May 19, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/134720
Inventors:
Karl Deisseroth - Palo Alto CA, US
Robert Malenka - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
A61K038/17
US Classification:
514002000
Abstract:
Coupling of excitation to neurogenesis in proliferating post-natal NPCs is demonstrated in vitro and in vivo. Neurogenesis is potently enhanced by excitatory stimuli, and involves Ca1.2/1.3 channels and NMDA receptors. These Ca influx pathways are located on the proliferating NPCs, allowing them to directly sense and process excitatory stimuli. Excitation increases the fraction of NPC progeny that are neurons, and increases total neuron number. Signaling in this pathway leads to rapid induction of a proneural gene expression pattern involving the bHLH genes HES1, Id2, and NeuroD, and the resulting cells become fully functional neurons defined by neuronal morphology, expression of neuronal structural proteins, expression of neuronal TTX-sensitive voltage gated Na channels, and synaptic incorporation into active neural circuits.

System, Method And Applications Involving Identification Of Biological Circuits Such As Neurological Characteristics

US Patent:
8401609, Mar 19, 2013
Filed:
Feb 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/031651
Inventors:
Karl Deisseroth - Palo Alto CA, US
Raag D. Airan - Menlo Park CA, US
Leslie A. Meltzer - Palo Alto CA, US
Assignee:
The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA
International Classification:
A61B 5/05
US Classification:
600407, 607 1
Abstract:
Various aspects are directed to systems and methods for assessing neural activity of a neural region having multiple subfields. In certain embodiments, a method includes evoking a cellular electrical response in at least one subfield due to neural activity in the neural region, capturing image data of the electrical response at a level sufficiently detailed in space and time to differentiate between polarization-based events of two respective portions of the subfield, and then assessing neural activity by correlating space and time information, from the captured data, for the two respective portions of the sub-field. Other more specific aspects of the invention involve different preparation and neural stimulation approaches which can vary depending on the application.

Implantable Optical Stimulators

US Patent:
2009011, May 7, 2009
Filed:
Oct 31, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/263044
Inventors:
Karl Deisseroth - Palo Alto CA, US
M. Bret Schneider - Portola Valley CA, US
International Classification:
A61N 5/06
US Classification:
607 92
Abstract:
Various systems and methods are implemented for in vivo use in a living animal. One such method involves stimulating target cells having light-responsive proteins and includes providing an elongated light-delivery structure in a narrow passageway in the animal, the elongated light-delivery structure having separately-activatable light sources located along the length of the elongated light-delivery structure. The method also includes activating less than all the light sources to deliver light to light-responsive proteins adjacent to the activated light sources along the length of the elongated light-delivery structure, thereby stimulating target cells in vivo.
