Figure 9.

Simulation results of GNR-enhanced NINS for varying stimulation laser intensities in the case of HH model #1. (a) Membrane temperature changes relative to the body temperature (36.5°C) for three different laser intensities are shown. (b) TRPV1 channel currents are shown. (c) Capacitive currents are shown. The inset shows the currents for three stimulation intensities separately for clear comparison. (d) The membrane potentials upon laser irradiation are shown. Solid, dashed, and dash-dot lines indicate the results obtained upon optical stimulation intensities of 230, 190, and 150 W ⋅ cm^–2, respectively. The red shaded boxes indicate the NIR pulse illumination (0.5 ms duration). To see this figure in color, go online.
