Flexible and stretchable nanowire-coated fibers for optoelectronic probing of spinal cord circuits

Studies of neural pathways that contribute to loss and recovery of function following paralyzing spinal cord injury require devices for modulating and recording electrophysiological activity in specific neurons. These devices must be sufficiently flexible to match the low elastic modulus of neural t...
