Thank you very much for the question! We do not have an experience combining optogenetics and MRI imaging. However, based on scientific literature, there are approaches to combine these two techniques, such as: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4941940/. In principle, this could be also used for optogenetic activation of cell death or other processes.
