An in vitro model of the brain tissue reaction to chronically implanted recording electrodes reveals essential roles for serum and bFGF in glial scarring

<p>Chronically implanted recording electrode arrays linked to prosthetics have the potential to make positive impacts on patients suffering from full or partial paralysis [1;2]. Such arrays are implanted into the patient's cortical tissue and record extracellular potentials from nearby ne...
