Glial responses to implanted electrodes in the brain
Open accessAbstract
The use of implants that can electrically stimulate or record electrophysiological or neurochemical activity in nervous tissue is rapidly expanding. Despite remarkable results in clinical studies and increasing market approvals, the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of neuroprosthetic and neuromodulation devices, as well as their side effects and reasons for their failure, remain poorly understood. A major assumption has been that the signal-generating neurons are the only important target cells of neural-interface technologies. However, recent evidence indicates that the supporting glial cells remodel the structure and function of neuronal networks and are an effector of stimulation-based therapy. Here, we reframe the traditional view of glia as a passive barrier, and discuss their role as an active determinant of the outcomes of device implantation. We also discuss the implications that this has on the development of bioelectronic medical devices.

In the citing paper
“The fibrotic capsule forming around the implant not only damages and displaces the target neuronal tissue, but also forms a high-impedance layer that dampens the weak electrical signals produced by neurons and dissipates stimulating electrode currents.”

“Despite these differences, the general principles underlying FBR and the consequences (formation of a fibrotic capsule, inflammatory damage to the surrounding tissue) still apply (Polikov et al., 2005; Salatino et al., 2017).”

In the citing paper

In the citing paper
“Material stiffness also greatly contributes to FBR, with softer materials (closer in stiffness to that of biological tissues) generating less mechanical trauma and therefore less FBR (Lacour et al., 2016; Salatino et al., 2017).”

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.
