Integrated Microprism and Microelectrode Array for Simultaneous Electrophysiology and Two-Photon Imaging Across all Cortical Layers.
Advanced Healthcare Materials 2024 April 3
Cerebral neural electronics play a crucial role in neuroscience research with increasing translational applications such as brain-computer interface for sensory input and motor output restoration. While widely utilized for decades, our understandings of the cellular mechanisms underlying this technology remains limited. Although two-photon microscopy (TPM) has shown great promise in imaging superficial neural electrodes, its application to deep-penetrating electrodes is unclear. Here, we introduce a novel device integrating transparent microelectrode arrays (MEAs) with glass microprisms, enabling electrophysiology recording and stimulation alongside TPM imaging across all cortical layers in a vertical plane. Tested in Thy1-GCaMP6 mice for over 4 months, our integrated device demonstrated the capability for multisite electrophysiological recording and simultaneous TPM calcium imaging. As a proof of concept, we investigated the impact of microstimulation amplitude, frequency, and depth on neural activation patterns throughout cortical layers using our setup. With future improvements in material stability and single unit yield, our multimodal tool can greatly expand integrated electrophysiology and optical imaging from the superficial brain to the entire cortical column, opening new avenues for neuroscience research and neurotechnology development.
