    Abstract: Methods and compositions modulate the activity of electrically excitable cells. Photovoltaic compounds which, upon exposure to light energy, increase or decrease the electrical activity of cells. These supplement and/or replace of vision based on the conversion of light energy to electrical energy within certain cells of the visual system. A “patch” or bridge to circumvent one or more defective, damaged, or diseased cells in the visual system. Additionally, in several embodiments, subjects with normal vision can benefit from the methods, compositions, systems, and/or devices disclosed herein as normal visual acuity can be heightened. The exposure induces an energy (e.g., a receipt of light energy, conversion to electrical energy, and passage of that electrical energy) from the photovoltaic compound to the cell, thereby altering the transmembrane potential of the cell and/or the opening of one or more ion channels, thereby modulating the activity of the electrically excitable cell.

    Abstract translation: 方法和组合物调节电可兴奋细胞的活性。 在暴露于光能下,增加或减少细胞的电活动的光伏化合物。 这些补充和/或替代视觉基于视觉系统的某些单元内的光能转换为电能。 用于规避视觉系统中一个或多个缺陷,损坏或病变细胞的“补丁”或桥梁。 另外,在几个实施例中,具有正常视力的受试者可以受益于本文公开的方法,组合物,系统和/或装置,因为可以提高正常视力。 曝光引起能量(例如,光能的接收,电能的转换和电能的传递)从光伏化合物到细胞,从而改变细胞的跨膜电位和/或开放一个或 更多的离子通道,从而调节电可激发细胞的活性。
