Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neuroscience
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Implantable neural electrodes are crucial for brain-computer interfaces (BCI).
  • Mechanical and biological property mismatches cause foreign body reactions and glial scarring, compromising long-term signal stability.
  • Current electrode materials face challenges in achieving stable, long-term neural signal recording.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and bio-augment implantable electrodes (bio-array electrodes) with a heterogeneous gradient structure.
  • To improve the biocompatibility and long-term performance of neural electrodes for BCI applications.
  • To investigate the mechanisms by which bio-augmentation suppresses glial scarring and enhances neural signal recording.

Main Methods:

  • Developed composite polyaniline-gelatin-alginate conductive hydrogel formulations for electrode surface coating.
  • Optimized electrode design, materials, and performance using numerical simulations and physio-chemical characterizations.
  • Conducted long-term *in vivo* animal experiments using a C57 mouse model to evaluate biological performance.

Main Results:

  • Bio-array electrodes exhibited a 1.74-fold increase in surface charge, a 63.17% decrease in impedance at 1 kHz, and doubled average capacitance compared to metal array electrodes.
  • Long-term animal experiments demonstrated that bio-array electrodes consistently recorded 2.5 times more signals with a 2.1 times higher signal-to-noise ratio.
  • Investigated mechanisms of scarring suppression, showing reduced brain damage due to enhanced interface biocompatibility and confirmed long-term *in vivo* stability.

Conclusions:

  • The novel bio-array electrodes demonstrate significantly improved electrical properties and biocompatibility.
  • The bio-augmented design effectively suppresses glial scarring, leading to reduced brain damage and enhanced long-term *in vivo* stability.
  • These findings highlight the potential of bio-array electrodes for advancing stable and reliable brain-computer interfaces.
