Silicon-based neural microneedle arrays, such as the Utah Array, have demonstrated excellent performance in chronic recordings from the cerebral cortex. Unlike planar thin-film electrodes with ...

(A) Approximate brain size of human and macaque, which is a widely used experimental nonhuman primate. (B) Imaging methods for the detections of brain structure and function. (C) Different types of ...

An analysis of the largest publicly available collection of scanning electron microscopy images of explanted multielectrode arrays reveals that electrolytic lesioning causes no significant additional ...

Electrophysiological recording technologies can provide valuable insights into the functioning of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Surface electrode arrays made of soft materials or ...

Researchers deploy an array of microscopic coils to create a magnetic field and stimulate individual neurons. The magnetic field can induce an electric field in any nearby neurons, the same effect ...

Researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a large ...

Conventional implantable medical devices designed for brain stimulation are often too rigid and bulky for what is one of the body's softest and most delicate tissues. To address the problem, Rice ...

Harvard researchers have mapped and catalogued more than 70,000 synaptic connections from about 2,000 rat neurons, using a silicon chip capable of recording small yet telltale synaptic signals from a ...

A group of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, University of Freiburg and the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have created an exceptionally small implant, with ...

Breakthrough recorded neural activity with high clarity and remained safely functional for 18 months without a drop in ...

A team of researchers have built a vision implant with tiny electrodes the size of a neuron, seeking to help blind people see again. The development of vision implants first emerged in the 1990s. The ...
