| Abstract | Understanding how the human brain enables us to sense, move, learn, and perceive is a fundamental goal of neuroscience. The brain is made of billions of neurons that communicate with one another through electrical and chemical signals. Neuroscientists rely on fluorescence detecting probes to monitor the activities of neurons using light. However, these probes can be bulky and rigid, causing bleeding and inflammation. Some probe light sources, such as micro-light emitting diodes (LEDs), produce l |
