 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Penetrating recording microelectrode arrays are a crucial component of numerous human neuroprosthetics. Obtaining selective, high fidelity, long-lasting readouts of brain activity is a critical technology across basic and applied neuroscience that impacts learning and memory studies as well as motor, pre-motor, and visual cortex neuroprostheses and brain-computer interfaces. However, implantation of cortical microelectrodes causes a reactive tissue response, which results in a degradation of the preferred functional single-unit performance over time, thus limiting the device capabilities. Insertion of neural probes or microelectrodes inevitably disrupts the blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and causes microhemorrhages that have been shown to trigger the inflammatory tissue response cascade. The degree of microhemorrhaging from probe insertion has been shown to be uncontrollable and difficult to reproduce across implants, mirroring the large variability in inflammatory tissue responses and chronic recording success. We hypothesize that the level of BBB damage impacts chronic neural recording quality. This proposal aims to characterize the sustained BBB breakdown and chronic recording failure in vivo caused by the insertion induced BBB disruption and BBB occlusion by quantifying structural, cellular, and molecular level tissue response to chronic implants in the brain in real time through combining multiphoton imaging technology and neural engineering technology at the University of Pittsburgh. A dynamic understanding of the interfaces is necessary for elucidating the mechanism(s) behind neural recording failure. This work has the potential to output basic and clinical science level knowledge relevant to neural engineering, ischemia, stroke, intracortical hemorrhage, aneurysm, traumatic brain injury, and closed-loop neurostimulation.

 描述（由申请人提供）：穿透记录微电极阵列是众多人类神经假体的重要组成部分，获得选择性、高保真度、持久的大脑活动读数是基础和应用神经科学的一项关键技术，它也会影响学习和记忆研究。然而，皮层微电极的植入会引起反应性组织反应，从而导致神经假体和脑机接口的退化。随着时间的推移，首选的功能单元性能会受到影响，从而限制了神经探针或微电极的插入，不可避免地会破坏血脑屏障（BBB）的完整性，并导致微出血，从而引发炎症组织反应级联。探针插入造成的微出血程度已被证明是无法控制的，并且难以在植入物中重现，这反映了炎症组织反应和慢性记录成功率的巨大差异，我们发现 BBB 损伤的水平会影响慢性神经。该提案旨在通过结合实时量化结构、细胞和分子水平组织对大脑中慢性植入物的反应，来表征由插入引起的 BBB 破坏和 BBB 闭塞引起的持续 BBB 破坏和慢性记录失败。匹兹堡大学的多光子成像技术和神经工程技术对界面的动态理解对于阐明神经记录失败背后的机制是必要的，这项工作有可能输出与神经工程相关的基础和临床科学水平的知识。 , 缺血,中风、皮质内出血、动脉瘤、创伤性脑损伤和闭环神经刺激。
