Smaller, cylindrical, untethered intracortical electrodes reduce brain inflammation and improve long-term function compared to larger, planar, tethered designs, aiding future neural implant development.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Neural Engineering

Background:

  • Intracortical electrodes are crucial for brain-computer interfaces, enabling prosthetics control.
  • Understanding how electrode design impacts long-term neural interface stability is critical but poorly understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effects of intracortical electrode design (shape, size, tethering) on the chronic stability of the neuron-electrode interface.
  • To compare histological, transcriptomic, and electrophysiological outcomes of different electrode designs at acute and chronic timepoints.

Main Methods:

  • Histological analysis quantified glial scarring and neuron survival around electrodes.
  • Transcriptomic analysis measured gene expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α).

  • Electrophysiological assessment evaluated electrode performance over 12 weeks.

    • Main Results:

    • Michigan 50 μm (M50) and tethered (MT) electrodes showed increased glial scarring and reduced neuron survival compared to microwire (MW) and 15 μm (M15) electrodes.
    • MW electrodes exhibited significantly reduced expression of neurotoxic cytokine transcripts chronically.
    • MW electrodes demonstrated superior electrophysiological performance over 12 weeks.

    Conclusions:

    • Intracortical electrodes with smaller size, cylindrical shape, and no tethering cables elicit reduced inflammatory responses.
    • These findings support the rational design of chronically functional intracortical electrode implants for neural applications.
