Sapphire-Based Optrode for Low Noise Neural Recording and Optogenetic Manipulation.
Article in ACS chemical neuroscience, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Electrophysiological recording of neurons in deep brain regions using optogenetic stimulation is a powerful method for understanding and regulating the role of complex neural activity in biological behavior and cognitive function. Optogenetic techniques have significantly advanced neuroscience research by enabling the optical manipulation of neural activities. Because of the significance of the technique, constant advancements in implantable optrodes that integrate optical stimulation with low-noise, large-scale electrophysiological recording are in demand to improve the spatiotemporal resolution for various experimental designs and future clinical applications. However, robust and easy-to-use neural optrodes that integrate neural recording arrays with high-intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) are still lacking. Here, we propose a neural optrode based on Gallium Nitride (GaN) on sapphire technology, which integrates a high-intensity blue LED with a 5 × 2 recording array monolithically for simultaneous neural recording and optogenetic manipulation. To reduce the noise interference between the recording electrodes and the LED, which is in close physical proximity, three metal grounding interlayers were incorporated within the optrode, and their ability to reduce LED-induced artifacts during neural recording was confirmed through both electromagnetic simulations and experimental demonstrations. The capability of the sapphire optrode to record action potentials has been demonstrated by recording the firing of mitral/tuft cells in the olfactory bulbs of mice in vivo. Additionally, the elevation of action potential firing due to optogenetic stimulation observed using the sapphire probe in medial superior olive (MSO) neurons of the gerbil auditory brainstem confirms the capability of this sapphire optrode to precisely access neural activities in deep brain regions under complex experimental designs.
