The invention relates to an electro-optrode neural interface, comprising an optical fiber which is elongated so as to be insertable into a body, and which is located at a core portion so as to form an optical electrode portion, and a liquid crystal polymer(LCP) sample encircling the optical fiber. The LCP sample has an adhesive sheet, and an LCP electrode layer encircling the adhesive sheet, wherein the adhesive sheet and the LCP electrode layer are coupled to each other. The electro-optrode neural interface is formed by combining into a single unit, an electrical interface in which an electrode for stimulating deep brain or measuring neural signals from deep brain is arranged in a liquid crystal15 polymet and an optical interface such as an optical fiber, a waveguide and an endoscope. The electro-optrode interface of the present invention may enable an electro-optrode to be inserted into a body which electrically or optically monitoring the position of the electro-optrode in real time and may be mass produced.
Based on electro-optrode neural interface and the manufacture method thereof of liquid crystal polymer
The present invention relates to and a kind ofly insert neural interface in health and a kind of method manufacturing this neural interface, more especially relate to and a kind ofly comprise the electro-optrode neural interface based on liquid crystal polymer of electrode and the auroral poles integrated and a kind of method manufacturing this electro-optrode neural interface.
As is known in the art, neural interface is such as Stimulation of The Brain deep regional or measure the electrode of nerve signal and auroral poles from brain deep regional play very important function CO2 laser weld such as cochlear implantation prosthesis, artificial thin film, brain depth stimulator etc. and in the Neuroscience Research etc. comprising biological signal measuring.Neural interface is for stimulating the nervous tissue of the animal comprising people or recording the nerve signal or bio signal that are produced by nervous tissue.Nerve stimulation or nerve signal record perform by using electric process or photoreduction process.
Electrode is mainly through using such as silicon, SOI(silicon-on-insulator) etc. semi-conducting material, or the metal material manufacture of such as platinum, tungsten etc., by this electrode, the electric potential difference of cell is induced or is recorded (see citing document [1]).
The transparent material that auroral poles uses light to pass is made, and cell uses the such as genetic technology of light etc. to utilize light to stimulate (see citing document [2]).
In addition, auroral poles can in response to the nerve signal (see citing document [3] and [4]) of the record cells such as the change of light, such as surface plasma, near infrared transmission characteristic.
But the traditional material for electrode or auroral poles has and holds corruptible mechanical performance, such as, in silicon, or not to be suitable in brain thus to need the rigidity of the difference of other support.Therefore, this material major part in application scenario is confined to implantable neural interface, and uses the method for support etc. should be designed out (see citing document [5]).
In addition, based on biocompatible material or should only should be made up of biocompatible material for the material in implantable technology, such as neural interface.When neural interface is applied to brain deep regional, owing to not by supporting the adverse effect caused, therefore, should must there is rigidity for the manufacture of the material in light neural interface in via the signal transduction process of neural interface.But the current electrode used in neurological prosthetic devices is problematic due to very high manufacturing cost, such as, because do not use the batch process process that can reduce manufacturing cost, semiconductor processes.
Because the material of the neural interface for neurological prosthetic devices can applying batch process process future has enough competitiveness, therefore, advantageously need to have the intensity being suitable for inserting in brain and be bio-compatibility and batch process process can be used to reduce the material of manufacturing cost.
But, most of conventional art studied and test individually of relevant electrode or auroral poles.In many research teams, previously carried out these two kinds of technology being combined come with the research of glass construction neural interface, but the research in live body is not also suggested.
In addition, when the Combination application of auroral poles and electrode operates in stereoscopic localized, can expect, operating position can be checked rapidly, thus shorten the operating time and reduce the impact that caused by gliosis due to immunne response and by the impact stimulating the tone artifacts caused, but the neural interface of the auroral poles and electrode with combination is not the structure (see citing document [8]) that can be applied to stereoscopic localized operation.
Such as, when for DBS(brain depth stimulator) electrode update, perform by this way traditionally: on position used MRI to scan and ATLAS(brain anatomy figure before electrode update) check, and operation performs by using stereoscopic localized operating equipment.
But, be difficult to perform this operation, because there is many factors, comprise everyone and there is different brain positions or the brain structure of uniqueness.In order to address these problems, main employing is this method at present: nerve signal uses MER(microelectrode recording) record nerve signal, then insert stimulating electrode.In these methods, the microelectrode for recording nerve signal was inserted by use stereoscopic localized operating means before the electrode for DBS inserts.Nerve signal is recorded according on position, to check the tram of electrode, afterwards, be removed for the microelectrode recording nerve signal, and stimulating electrode is inserted again.This is because: when piercing through skull to form acanthopore, pressure and the cerebrospinal fluid of skull change flow out brain, thus can be shifted, and wherein, the position of brain is changed and different from position residing in MRI scanning process.
But the method has following problem.1. the operating time is extended, and this undesirably increases the loss of the body fluid comprising cerebrospinal fluid, blood etc.2. two kinds of electrodes alternately insert, and this undesirably increases and damages cerebrovascular danger (recording electrode has less diameter than stimulating electrode).3. the on position of stimulating electrode is adjusted to different positions, instead of along the insertion route of recording electrode, this adversely causes damage cerebral tissue.
In contrast to this, propose employ MRI information and ATLAS(brain anatomy figure) and not there is the insertion method of MER.The method of the information of brain anatomy figure is used to be used for determining final on position via the suitable coordinate system based on MRI or C arm, thus shorten the operating time, and then reduce the loss of body fluid, but due to brain in operation less displacement and be very difficult to locate stimulating electrode exactly.
When specific exterior object is implanted in live body, there will be gliosis, wherein, cerebral tissue surrounds electrode, is considered to foreign body due to immunne response.In this case, stimulate the signal of telecommunication to will having become problem by the transmission of the tissue of electrode stimulating, thus reduce effect of stimulation and therapeutic effect.Therefore, in order to provide suitable effect of stimulation, such situation can be there is: electrode update should perform again at alternative location place, and this adversely increases the burden of patient.When inserting the electrode in brain, all a series of operation scanning update from MRI should adversely perform again.
Finally, when electricity irritation is applied to cell and nerve signal utilizes electrode record, stimulus signal is directly recorded dividually in response to cytositimulation and nerve signal, and described stimulus signal is also referred to as tone artifacts.This signal is formed after stimulation at once, and has the amplitude of the amplitude being greater than nerve signal.In order to the response produced after showing stimulation at once, additional process is needed to remove tone artifacts.
As mentioned above, the neural interface device be inserted in live body based on biocompatible material, and should should have the intensity be suitable in insertion brain.In addition, from the viewpoint of popularizing and marketing neurological prosthetic devices, this interface should be able to use the manufacture of batch process process cheaply.When for electrode in neural interface device, recording responses in the tone artifacts of electricity irritation, thus should solve owing to needing the problem that the process of adding comes the problem of actual separation nerve signal and the additional reference electrode of needs and the problem making effect reduce due to the generation of gliosis.And and need compared with traditional stereoscopic localized of long operating time operates due to MRI in operation or CT scan, fast operating should become possibility.
The present inventor has been found that, liquid crystal polymer has the intensity be suitable in insertion brain, and be bio-compatibility, and batch process process can be suitable for, thus reduce manufacturing cost (see citing document [6] and [7]), and stereoscopic localized operation can use the auroral poles of combination and electrode to perform, thus, operating position can be examined rapidly, and then reduce the operating time, and reduce by auroral poles due to the impact of gliosis, because light can pass cell (see citing document [9]) to a certain extent, in addition, the situation that nerve signal utilizes light to be detected can not by the impact of tone artifacts, thus simplify last handling process (see citing document [3] and [4]).
