Manipulation of Neuronal Excitation Using Fast Thermal Gradient

Abstract

This report summarizes the work completed during our LRIR tenure. The overarching goal of this project was to explore the fundamental biophysical interactions of infrared (IR)-induced fast thermal gradients (FTG) within biological systems. Throughout this effort, we focused on developing in silico models that are representative of the energy delivered by the IR exposure. As a result, we have developed a model that is spatially and temporally representative of the IR exposure on the cell surface. In addition, we have added critical details that contribute to an in vitro experimental platform for IR applications.
