We found that a single and brief IR light pulse induced a TTX-independent membrane depolarization, whose amplitude depends on the pulse duration and total energy deposition. The depolarization facilitated action potential (AP) generation when the axon was near firing threshold. This depolarization was followed by a membrane hyperpolarization at higher energy levels, which reversed near potassium equilibrium potential and could inhibit AP firing. Pharmacological results indicated that barium-sensitive potassium channels contributed to the hyperpolarization, while further administration of TEA did not change the hyperpolarization. We show that individual and brief IR light pulses can evoke both excitatory and inhibitory effects.
