Fig. 9.7 The spatial confinement of light in the near field. This illumination device is composed of
a single nanowire excited from one end by a highly focused laser beam that, through a “backfire
coupling,” generates a highly localized optical field at the other end of the nanowire. This focused
light acts as optical exciting source of light-sensitive receptors expressed at synapses
technology is providing invaluable weapons to extend our knowledge of synaptic
functions and dysfunctions in the healthy and diseased brain.
