Abstract: 
High spatiotemporal resolution brain electrical signals are critical for basic neuroscience research and high-precision focus diagnostic localization, as the spatial scale of some pathologic signals is at the submillimeter or micrometer level. This entails connecting hundreds or thousands of electrode wires on a limited surface. This study reported a class of flexible, ultrathin, highdensity electrocorticogram (ECoG) electrode arrays. The challenge of a large number of wiring arrangements was overcome by a laminated structure design and processing technology improvement. The flexible, ultrathin, high-density ECoG electrode array was conformably attached to the cortex for reliable, high spatial resolution electrophysiologic recordings. The minimum spacing between electrodes was 15?m, comparable to the diameter of a single neuron. Eight hundred electrodes were prepared with an electrode density of 4444 mm?2. In focal epilepsy surgery, the flexible, high-density, laminated ECoG electrode array with 36 electrodes was applied to collect epileptic spike waves in rabbits, improving the positioning accuracy of epilepsy lesions from the centimeter to the submillimeter level. The flexible, high-density, laminated ECoG electrode array has potential clinical applications in intractable epilepsy and other neurologic diseases requiring high-precision electroencephalogram acquisition.

本研究论文聚焦柔性高密度脑电极的集成制备与应用。高时空分辨率脑电信号对于高精度癫痫病灶诊断定位至关重要, 关键突破点在于发展高密度脑电极阵列。本研究提出一种柔性脑电极叠层结构设计方法, 使不同引线分布在不同空间位置, 克服了大量引线布置的挑战。引入回火工艺, 消除残余热应力引起的叠层结构开裂问题, 突破了柔性脑电极高密度集成制备的难题。基于此, 制备了一类柔性、超薄、高密度的皮层电图 (ECoG) 电极阵列。该柔性ECoG电极阵列具有800个电极, 电极密度为4444 mm−2, 电极最小间距15微米, 与单个神经元相当。该柔性高密度ECoG电极阵列可与大脑皮层共形贴附, 实现高时间分辨率和高空间分辨率脑电信号采集。此外, 基于该方法制备的柔性高密度ECoG电极阵列, 采集了高时空分辨率癫痫信号, 癫痫病灶定位精度从厘米级提高到亚毫米级。本研究为难治性癫痫病灶高精度定位和脑功能分析的临床应用奠定了基础。
