The concept of “precision electronic medicine in the brain” is articulated for the first time as the vision for how neurotechnology can deliver personalized medicine to treat complex neurological and psychiatric disorders, as well as restore functions in degenerative diseases, trauma, and amputation. Neuron-like electronics could provide a way to stably map, track, and modulate the same individual neurons and neural circuits over extended time periods, unlocking new avenues for personalized therapy. This work addresses how to build an intimate and long-term stable interface between electronics and the constituent cells of the brain via tissue-like, high-resolution and large-scale neural probes. Previous advances have been featured in various news media; please see articles here.
