Flexible Electronic Membranes Could Revolutionize TBI Research
One of the biggest problems that has hindered traumatic brain injury (TBI) research is how to simulate TBI's in the lab without destroying the electrodes that monitor how brain cells respond to trauma. Current techniques used to study TBI's are limited and have frustrated researchers for years. In the most commonly used technique an electrode is inserted into a cell to obtain a recording and then must be removed to injure the cell with another probe. After the cell is injured the electrode must be reinserted in the same exact cell to obtain post-injury recordings - a procedure found to be nearly impossible.
