Abstract
This study introduces a novel organ-specific, scalable, multimodal, wireless optoelectronic device for precise and chronic optogenetic manipulations in vivo. The device, combined with an advanced coil-antenna system and multiplexing strategy, enables low-cost, high-throughput functional mapping of peripheral neural circuits. Application to the vagus nerve revealed an unexpected role for stomach, non-stretch vagal sensory fibers in suppressing appetite, demonstrating the device's durability in harsh gastric conditions.
