Low-Curvature Microelectrode Arrays Offer Insights into Spatial Cognitive Information Coding of Ventral Tegmental Area
The“Micro-Nano Sensing Technology”creative research group of NSFC from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by Professor CAI Xinxia, has developed a new method for fabricating high-precision, low-curvature microelectrode arrays (MEAs). The MEAs are designed for recording neuronal activities in brain's deep, small volume region. Published in the Microsystems & Nanoengineering on October 14, the study implanted the low-curvature MEAs into the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of rats, employing a modified T-maze to highlight the VTA's important role in reward processing and spatial information coding during goal-directed navigation.
