Characterizing the relationship between neuron spiking and the signals electrodes record is vital to defining the neural circuits driving brain function and informing computational modeling. However, electrode biocompatibility and precisely localizing neurons around the electrodes are critical to defining this relationship. Here, we show the ability to localize post-explant recording tips of subcellular-scale carbon fiber electrodes and surrounding neurons. Immunostaining of astrocyte, microglia, and neuron markers confirmed improved tissue health. While neurons near implants were stretched, their number and distribution were similar to control, suggesting that these minimally invasive electrodes demonstrate the potential to sample naturalistic neural populations. This motivated prediction of the spikes produced by neurons nearest to the electrodes using a model fit with recorded electrophysiology. These simulations show the first direct evidence that neuron placement in the immediate vicinity of the recording site influences how many spike clusters can be reliably identified by spike sorting.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
