The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An optical neural interface: in vivo control of rodent motor cortex with integrated fiberoptic and optogenetic technology (2007, methodology): “This assumption is based on previous in vivo and in vitro data showing that in mammalian brain tissue, transmission loss from scattering is much greater than loss from absorption for wavelengths ranging from 400 to 900 nm [42, 43].”
Monte Carlo simulation of photon migration in 3D turbid media accelerated by graphics processing units (2009, methodology): “The optical properties for gray matter, white matter, CSF and skin/ scalp/skull were obtained from [33] and [6].”
Deep tissue two-photon microscopy (2005, background): “Because scattering is more severe for shorter wavelengths, the contribution of ballistic fluorescence photons is minor beyond about one scattering mean-free-path (50–90 μm at 600 nm in brain gray matte”
