Implantable CMOS probes for high resolution Electrical Imaging of Local Field Potentials Across the Rat Barrel Cortex in vivo

Abstract: High-resolution recordings of extracellular potentials are fundamental for the study of neuronal networks, the basis of neuronal coding and transmission. Here we present an innovative method for an in vivo electrical imaging of Local Field Potentials using novel implantable neural interfaces with a high-density array of 256 recording sites and a spatial resolution of 15 {\mu}m. Thanks to this technology, we analyze the propagation of whisker-evoked activity in a single barrel-column of the rat somatosensory cortex.
