<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a neuron photo-stimulator capable of optically stimulating neurons of an experimental animal without causing unnecessary stress to the experimental animal. <P>SOLUTION: The neuron photo-stimulator is used to optically stimulate neurons of an experimental animal. A light-emitting stimulation section 3 is provided which has a fiber section 31 inserted into the head of the experimental animal to irradiate the brain with stimulation light. An infrared receiver 2 is attached to the experimental animal to receive an infrared ray having a stimulating pulse signal superposed thereon and generate a reception signal, and the light-emitting stimulation section 3 is operated to emit light on the basis of the reception signal. An infrared transmitter 1 generates a pulse signal for stimulation light to perform optical stimulation, superposes a signal on the infrared ray, the signal being formed by modulating the carrier wave of a predetermined frequency by the pulse signal, and transmits the signal to the infrared receiver 2. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
