Neural electrodes based on 3-dimensional organic electroactive microfibres
thesis
posted on 2018-04-30, 02:48 authored by JASON BRIAN MARROQUINA porous and fibrous 3-dimensional neural electrode was developed using
electrospun fibrous membranes imbued with electroactive properties via a coating of conductive polymer
poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT). The PEDOT electrode biocompatibility and
functionality was assessed through in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo assays. PEDOT fibers
supported: normal development of neurons; stimulation and recording of
activity in brain slices and from the surface of the brain under anesthesia.
