The use of implants that can electrically stimulate or record electrophysiological or
neurochemical activity in nervous tissue is rapidly expanding. Despite remarkable results in …

In the mammalian nervous system, billions of neurons connected by quadrillions of
synapses exchange electrical, chemical and mechanical signals. Disruptions to this network …

Implantable intracortical microelectrodes can record a neuron's rapidly changing action
potentials (spikes). In vivo neural activity recording methods often have either high temporal …

Implantable biosensors are valuable scientific tools for basic neuroscience research and
clinical applications. Neurotechnologies provide direct readouts of neurological signal and …

Designing bioelectronic devices that seamlessly integrate with the human body is a
technological pursuit of great importance. Bioelectronic medical devices that reliably and …

To ensure long-term consistent neural recordings, next-generation intracortical
microelectrodes are being developed with an increased emphasis on reducing the neuro …

In the last years, the development of new materials as well as advanced fabrication
techniques have enabled the transformation of electronics from bulky rigid structures into …

Shape memory polymer-based flexible electronic devices (SMPFEDs) that incorporate novel
features and functions of shape memory polymers (SMPs) and their composites (SMPCs) …

Objective. The mechanisms underlying intracortical microelectrode encapsulation and
failure are not well understood. A leading hypothesis implicates the role of the mechanical …

An injury to the spinal cord causes long-lasting loss of nervous tissue because endogenous
nervous tissue repair and regeneration at the site of injury is limited. We engineered an …
