New modalities of cortical electrophysiology, perspectives in medical research and human physiology
Recent advances in material technology and in micro- and nano-electronics have profoundly changed the design of intracranial electrophysiology electrodes. It is now possible to manufacture electrodes that record cortical activity at a spatial resolution that was previously unthinkable. This high spatial resolution enables recording of the functional structures of the brain, and differentiation of the activity of the different types of neurons composing them. In this paper, we present a review of the different types of electrodes now available, and then suggest one of the first applications for such high resolution electrodes, namely a means to better characterise the mechanisms that generate focal seizures in epileptics. Finally, we reflect more broadly on prospects for their future use.
