Background:

Long-term neural recordings are crucial for neuroprosthetics.
Chronic electrode implantation faces variability due to biological and environmental factors.
Electrical interface impedance changes can indicate electrode health.

Purpose of the Study:

To quantify long-term microelectrode array functionality.
To develop an impedance-based predictor for electrode functionality.
To correlate electrical properties with in vivo neuronal recordings.

Main Methods:

Daily impedance measurements and neural recordings in rats over 21 weeks.
Used tungsten microwire arrays implanted in the somatosensory cortex.
Developed and validated a predictive model for electrode performance.

Main Results:

Electrode impedance showed time-varying trends related to performance.
Optimal single-unit detection occurred between 40-150 KΩ impedance.
The impedance-based model accurately predicted chronic electrode performance.

Conclusions:

Impedance monitoring is a viable method for assessing neural electrode function.
An impedance-based model can predict long-term electrode performance.
Future models can integrate impedance data with material properties and histology for failure prediction.
