Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Bio-medical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of neural conduction velocity is crucial for understanding neuronal function and diagnosing neurological disorders.
  • Existing methods for recording neural signals can be invasive or lack the spatial resolution needed for detailed analysis.
  • Advancements in microfabrication technologies enable the development of novel neural recording devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and fabricate a 16-channel multi-electrode array (MEA) for simultaneous recording of neuronal conduction velocity.
  • To evaluate the performance and reliability of the fabricated MEA for biomedical applications.
  • To compare the MEA's performance with traditional electrophysiological recording techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of MEA using Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technology on a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafer.
  • Characterization of probe dimensions (3mm length, 100µm width, 25µm thickness).
  • Testing of mechanical strength and electrical performance (impedance) of the fabricated probes.
  • Integration of a 16-site preamplifier readout circuitry with signal processing for improved signal-noise-ratio (SNR).
  • Simultaneous recording of neural signals from multiple electrodes.
  • Validation using the electrophysiology system of crayfish.

Main Results:

  • Successful fabrication of a 16-channel MEA with consistent probe dimensions.
  • Demonstrated simultaneous recording of multiple neural signals with high signal-noise-ratio (SNR).
  • Achieved neural conduction velocity measurements comparable to traditional glass pipette methods.
  • Verified the MEA's capability in measuring neural signals from a biological system.

Conclusions:

  • The developed 16-channel MEA is a viable tool for recording neural conduction velocity in biomedical applications.
  • MEMS fabrication on SOI wafers provides effective control over probe dimensions and performance.
  • The MEA offers a promising alternative to traditional methods, with potential for further improvements in future development.
