Background:

Long-term neural recording is crucial for clinical applications but challenged by implant failure due to host tissue response.
Implantable electrodes can fail as glial cells increase impedance and displace neurons, hindering recording.
Smaller electrodes reduce tissue response, but are prone to buckling during insertion.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the viability of high-speed magnetic insertion for small (25 μm) ferromagnetic microelectrodes.
To evaluate the long-term functionality and impedance of magnetically inserted microelectrodes in a rat brain model.
To compare magnetic insertion of small electrodes against conventional methods for larger electrodes.

Main Methods:

High-speed (27.8 m/s) magnetic insertion of 25 μm ferromagnetic microelectrodes into rat brains.
Daily impedance measurements and neural recordings over 31 days in 4 Long-Evans rats.
Comparison with 150 μm diameter PlasticsOne electrodes that buckled during slow insertion.

Main Results:

Magnetically inserted 25 μm platinum-iron microelectrodes resolved single-unit neural activity for the study duration in one rat.
No significant change in electrode impedance was observed over 31 days (4.54% increase, p=0.970).
Magnetic insertion successfully implanted 25 μm electrodes without buckling, unlike slow-speed insertion.

Conclusions:

Magnetic insertion is a viable method for implanting small (25 μm) microelectrodes without buckling.
This technique shows potential for improving long-term neural recording applications.
The study provides a proof-of-concept for magnetic insertion in neuroscience research.
