Implantable neuroelectronic interfaces have enabled significant advances in both fundamental research and treatment of neurological diseases, yet traditional intracranial depth electrodes require invasive surgery to place and can disrupt the neural networks during implantation. To address these limitations, we have developed an ultra-small and flexible endovascular neural probe that can be implanted into small 100-micron scale blood vessels in the brains of rodents without damaging the brain or vasculature. The structure and mechanical properties of the flexible probes were designed to meet the key constraints for implantation into tortuous blood vessels inaccessible with existing techniques. In vivo electrophysiology recording of local field potentials and single-unit spikes has been selectively achieved in the cortex and the olfactory bulb. Histology analysis of the tissue interface showed minimal immune response and long-term stability. This platform technology can be readily extended as both research tools and medical devices for the detection and intervention of neurological diseases.

"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.
