Conducting-Polymer Nanotubes Improve Electrical Properties of Neural Electrodes
An in vitro comparison of conducting-polymer nanotubes of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) and poly(pyrrole) (PPy) and to their film counterparts is reported. Impedance, charge-capacity density (CCD), tendency towards delamination, and neurite outgrowth are compared. For the same deposition charge density, PPy films and nanotubes grow relatively faster vertically, while PEDOT films and ...
متن کاملResponse of brain tissue to chronically implanted neural electrodes.
Chronically implanted recording electrode arrays linked to prosthetics have the potential to make positive impacts on patients suffering from full or partial paralysis. Such arrays are implanted into the patient's cortical tissue and record extracellular potentials from nearby neurons, allowing the information encoded by the neuronal discharges to control external devices. While such systems pe...
متن کاملNanowires precisely grown on the ends of microwire electrodes permit the recording of intracellular action potentials within deeper neural structures.
AIMS Nanoelectrodes are an emerging biomedical technology that can be used to record intracellular membrane potentials from neurons while causing minimal damage during membrane penetration. Current nanoelectrode designs, however, have low aspect ratios or large substrates and thus are not suitable for recording from neurons deep within complex natural structures, such as brain slices. MATERIA...
متن کاملElectrode impedance analysis of chronic tungsten microwire neural implants: understanding abiotic vs. biotic contributions
Changes in biotic and abiotic factors can be reflected in the complex impedance spectrum of the microelectrodes chronically implanted into the neural tissue. The recording surface of the tungsten electrode in vivo undergoes abiotic changes due to recording site corrosion and insulation delamination as well as biotic changes due to tissue encapsulation as a result of the foreign body immune resp...
متن کاملSelf-assembled monolayers of polythiophene conductive polymers improve biocompatibility and electrical impedance of neural electrodes.
There is continued interest in the development of conductive polymer coatings to improve the electrical properties and biocompatibility of electrodes for neural prostheses. We present here a new type of coating, based on mixed self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of thiolated poly(alkylthiophene)s and functionalized alkanethiols. When assembled as a SAM on electrodes designed for in vitro electroph...
