This study evaluates how electrode sharpness and insertion speed affect tissue damage when implanting high-density neural arrays in mice and rats, finding that electro-sharpened arrays and faster insertion reduce cellular damage and BBB compromise.

This paper describes a surgical technique using laser ablation to thin the pia mater in sheep, enabling safer insertion of high-density microelectrode arrays for neural recordings.

The paper introduces the Argo System, a high-density neural recording system with 65,536 channels, validated in rats and sheep for cortical recordings.
