Nanosized Implantable Sensor to Advance Treatment for Spinal Cord Neurological Disorders and Injury
Image: The sensor can record the activity of spinal cord neurons in a freely moving animal model (Photo courtesy of Jeff Fitlow/Rice University) Implantable technologies have significantly advanced our understanding and ability to modify brain neuron activity; however, studying neurons within the spinal cord during active movement has been more challenging. This difficulty arises because the spinal cord is highly mobile, shifting position whenever a person turns their head or bends over, as a result of which the spinal neurons are also moving. During such movements, rigid sensors implanted in the spinal cord can disturb or even damage the fragile tissue. Gaining a deeper understanding of how spinal neurons process sensations and control movement is crucial for developing more effective treatments for spinal cord diseases and injuries. Now, researchers have developed a tiny sensor called spinalNET which records the electrical activity of spinal neurons without interfering with normal activity. This capability marks a significant initial step toward creating potential treatments for millions affected by spinal cord diseases.
