摘要
近年来,由于其潜在的高生物相容性和高密度集成能力,基于柔性材料和柔性电子学的神经技术受到了广泛的关注。本工作制备了基于低维碳纳米材料包括碳纳米管和石墨烯的具有高度柔性的大脑植入电极和表面电极,发展了柔性电极向大鼠大脑的高效植入方法。利用柔性电极,成功的记录到了高信噪比的局域场电位和单个神经元放电的动作电位信号,信号可在数周内持续记录。组织学研究表明,相对于同尺寸的传统非柔性电极,柔性电极周围无明显的神经元空缺区域和胶质细胞聚集,这与神经元放电的慢性连续记录结果一致。电生理记录和组织学研究从两方面证明了碳基柔性神经电极的高生物相容性,此高生物相容性使得碳基柔性电极在神经信号的长期记录中有巨大的应用潜力。
Currently, there is intense interest in the development of materials and electronic devices that can extend and/or provide new capabilities for probing neural circuitry and providing long-term minimally invasive brain-electronics interfaces. Here, we report the design, fabrication and demonstration of novel neural electrodes that combine small size and high flexibility based on low-dimensional carbon materials. These highly flexible electrodes were used to record single-unit action potentials and local field potentials from rat hippocampus. Significantly, histology studies show that these electrodes exhibit high biocompatibility as evidenced by the close proximity of neurons to the electrodes. These studies suggest that nanoscale flexible neural electrodes can provide new opportunities for neural activity mapping and implants for next generation brain-machine interfaces.
