Transient Neurovascular Interface for Minimally Invasive Neural Recording and Stimulation

Neural interfaces are used to mitigate the burden of traumatic injuries, neurodegenerative diseases, and mental disorders. However, transient or permanent placement an interface in close contact with neural tissue requires invasive surgery, potentially entailing both short- long-term complications. To tackle this problem, a neurovascular for recording stimulation is developed. This endovascular array has been fabricated facile molding techniques using solely polymeric materials. In vitro experiments have shown promising electrochemical performance stimulation, together lack cytotoxicity cultured cells. The device compatible standard catheters and, once deployed, provide good apposition cylindrical structure mimicking blood vessel. advantage twofold. On one hand, exploitation cerebrovascular system as access route avoids surgeries. other may reduce inflammatory reaction avoid additional surgeries removal replacement. combines benefits bioelectronics stent technology single broaden range applications from neurological diseases disorders medicine.
