Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adom201570029-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The optical axon and photonic synapse transmit information with optical pulses that propagate along a fiber, whose transmission is altered through photodarkening as a result of exposure at a sub‐bandgap wavelength. As explained by B. Gholipour et al. on page 635, this photomodifiation plays the role of either inhibitory or excitatory action potentials in the post‐synaptic axon. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjn1brgx8" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
