Freeman DK, Eddington DK, Rizzo JF, Fried SI. Selective activation of neuronal targets with sinusoidal electric stimulation. J Neurophysiol 104: 2778-2791, 2010. First published September 1, 2010; doi:10.1152/jn.00551.2010. Electric stimulation of the CNS is being evaluated as a treatment modality for a variety of neurological, psychiatric, and sensory disorders. Despite considerable success in some applications, existing stimulation techniques offer little control over which cell types or neuronal substructures are activated by stimulation. The ability to more precisely control neuronal activation would likely improve the clinical outcomes associated with these applications. Here, we show that specific frequencies of sinusoidal stimulation can be used to preferentially activate certain retinal cell types: photoreceptors are activated at 5 Hz, bipolar cells at 25 Hz, and ganglion cells at 100 Hz. In addition, low-frequency stimulation (
