Devices capable of recording or stimulating neuronal signals have created new opportunities to understand normal physiology and treat sources of pathology in the brain. However, it is possible that the tissue response to implanted electrodes may influence the nature of the signals detected or stimulated. In this study, we characterized structural and functional changes in deep layer pyramidal neurons surrounding silicon or polyimide-based electrodes implanted in the motor cortex of rats. Devices were captured in 300 µm-thick tissue slices collected at the 1 or 6 week time point post-implantation, and individual neurons were assessed using a combination of whole-cell electrophysiology and 2-photon imaging. We observed disrupted dendritic arbors and a significant reduction in spine densities in neurons surrounding devices. These effects were accompanied by a decrease in the frequency of spontaneous excitatory post-synaptic currents, a reduction in sag amplitude, an increase in spike frequency adaptation, and an increase in filopodia density. We hypothesize that the effects observed in this study may contribute to the signal loss and instability that often accompany chronically implanted electrodes. Implanted electrodes in the brain can be used to treat sources of pathology and understand normal physiology by recording or stimulating electrical signals generated by local neurons. However, a foreign body response following implantation undermines the performance of these devices. While several studies have investigated the biological mechanisms of device-tissue interactions through histology, transcriptomics, and imaging, our study is the first to directly interrogate effects on the function of neurons surrounding electrodes using single-cell electrophysiology. Additionally, we provide new, detailed assessments of the impacts of electrodes on the dendritic structure and spine morphology of neurons, and we assess effects for both traditional (silicon) and newer polymer electrode materials. These results reveal new potential mechanisms of electrode-tissue interactions. [Display omitted] [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
