Optogenetic Neuromodulation of the Urinary Bladder
ConclusionOptogenetics offers a powerful tool to investigate the neural circuit of bladder storage and voiding and provides a promising approach for manipulating neurons and muscles. It is possible to achieve coordinated modulation of the bladder and its sphincter through a “closed-loop” system. Optogenetics neuromodulation could also be applied in urinary bladder control in the clinic in the future.
