    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Closed-loop neural implants require accurate electrode/brain interface models for optimal performance in neurodegenerative disease monitoring and treatment.
    • Current models often assume stationary electrode/brain impedance, which is insufficient as impedance changes over time post-implantation.
    • Accurate electrical models are critical for designing robust circuits in miniaturized CMOS neural implants for recording, stimulation, and sensing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To monitor and characterize the time-dependent impedance changes of microelectrodes implanted in ex-vivo porcine brains.
    • To develop an accurate electrode/brain electrical equivalent circuit model that accounts for temporal impedance evolution.
    • To provide crucial data for improving the design of next-generation neural implants.

    Main Methods:

    • Performed impedance spectroscopy measurements on microelectrodes in ex-vivo porcine brains for 144 hours.
    • Analyzed impedance evolution in two distinct setups simulating neural recording and chronic stimulation scenarios.
    • Proposed and evaluated different equivalent electrical circuit models to describe the observed electrochemical behavior.

    Main Results:

    • Observed significant changes in electrode/brain interfacial impedance over the 144-hour measurement period.
    • Documented a decrease in the resistance to charge transfer, indicating biological material interaction with the electrode surface.
    • Identified specific temporal trends in impedance parameters relevant to neural implant functionality.

    Conclusions:

    • The electrode/brain interface impedance is dynamic and evolves over time, necessitating time-dependent models for accurate simulation.
    • The observed decrease in charge transfer resistance impacts the performance of neural implant circuits.
    • These findings are essential for circuit designers to create more robust and adaptive neural implant systems.
