Ultra-thin, high-res sensor records single-neuron activity deep in the brain
Researchers have used a novel manufacturing technique to create a minimally invasive, customizable sensor that can wirelessly record deep brain activity down to a resolution of one or two neurons. The device has potential applications in a wide range of neurological conditions such as treatment-resistant epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and chronic pain.A gold standard approach used in a wide variety of neurological disorders, such as treatment-resistant epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease, is stereoelectroencephalography…
