Neural Spiking Data in the Rat Somatosensory Cortex Using a Flexible Electrode Responding to Transcranial Focused Ultrasound

In this study, we investigate the neuronal response to transcranial focused ultrasound stimulation (tFUS) on the somatosensory cortex using a 128-element array transducer and a chronically implanted ultraflexible nanoelectric thread electrode. This flexible electrode allows us to study higher intensities of tFUS which are impossible with a rigid electrode due to the vibration artifacts that are...
