PMID-23160191 Novel flexible Parylene neural probe with 3D sheath structure for enhancing tissue integration
- They seem to think that drugs are critical for success: "These features will enhance tissue integration and improve recording quality towards realizing reliable chronic neural interfaces."
- Similar to Kennedy: "The sheath structure allows for ingrowth of neural processes leading to improved tissue/probe integration post implantation." 8 electrodes, 4 on the cone interior, 4 on the exterior.
-
- opening is 50um at tip, 300 um at base.
- Used a PEEK-stiffened parylene ZIF connection.
-
- Only tested in agarose, but it did properly release from the inserter needle.
- I wonder if we could use a similar technique..
- "Lab on a chip" journal (Royal society of Chemistry). nice.
