A multielectrode array for intrafascicular recording and stimulation in sciatic nerve of cats
Abstract
The feasibility of implanting an array of penetrating electrodes into peripheral nerves is studied in acute experiments in the cat sciatic nerve. A novel, silicon-based array of microelectrodes, the Utah Electrode Array, was used, which contains 25 or 100 1-mm long electrodes that project out from a silicon substrate. Electrode arrays of this complexity, when inserted in the peripheral nerve, could cause significant compression of the nerve and block the conduction of action potentials. Using a high velocity insertion technique, the electrode array was implanted into the sciatic nerve. Compound action potentials were evoked by and recorded with cuff electrodes. Compound action potentials recorded 1 h after insertion were only slightly altered from those recorded before insertion. Single units were readily extracted from evoked multiunit neural recordings in response to cutaneous stimulation and limb rotation around joints. Current injections into the nerve through the electrodes evoked muscle twitches with currents in the 10 microA range. Recording and stimulation stability were demonstrated for periods of up to 60 h. We have shown that high density arrays of electrodes can be inserted into the peripheral nerve and can provide a stable recording and stimulating interface to individual peripheral nerve axons. Such an array may be useful in future neuroscience research and potential neuroprosthetic applications.

Electrodes in the Utah array selectively recorded single-unit responses from mechanoreceptors, although only in 10-20% of the electrodes, and evoked graded recruitment of force in muscle groups in a highly selective fashion with current injections in the 1-20 μA range.
“Electrodes in the array were capable of selectively recording single-unit responses from mechanoreceptors, although only in 10-20% of the electrodes, and evoked graded recruitment of force in muscle groups in a highly selective fashion with current injections in the 1-20 m A range (Branner and Norman, 2000; Branner et al., 2001) .”

Production of a defined geometric surface area (GSA) of the electrode tips was possible using either an oxygen plasma etching technique or excimer laser ablation.
“We have shown that the production of a defined geometric surface area (GSA) of the electrode tips was possible using either an oxygen plasma etching technique [1,21] or by excimer laser ablation [22].”
Currently, there is one high electrode-density (6.25 electrodes/mm2), high electrode-count (96 electrodes) penetrating device available for neuromodulation of large structures (>4 mm) in the peripheral nervous system.
“Currently, there is one high electrode-density (6.25 electrodes/mm 2 ), high electrodecount (96 electrodes) penetrating device available for neuromodulation of large structures (> 4 mm) in the peripheral nervous system [1].”
The electrode proportions, impedances, number of functionally distinct electrodes, and SNR of HD-USEAs are comparable to the conventionally spaced Utah electrode arrays.
“The electrode proportions, impedances, number of functionally distinct electrodes and SNR of HD-USEAs are comparable to the conventionally spaced Utah electrode arrays [1,13].”
The conventionally spaced, lower density USEA can be implanted acutely (<1 day) and chronically (>6 months) with insult to the epineurium or perineurium limited to the areas penetrated by the microelectrodes.
“The conventionally spaced, lower density USEA can be implanted both acutely (<1 days) [1] and chronically (>6 months) [40,41] with insult to the epineurium or perinerium limited to the areas penetrated by the microelectrodes.”
There was little compression of nerve fibers around the tips and shanks of the HD-USEA electrodes.
“Moreover, there was little compression of the nerve fibers around the tips and shanks of the HD-USEA electrodes, as had been previously noted for the conventionally spaced USEAs [1].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
