This study evaluates the long-term moisture barrier performance of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) for implantable medical electronics through in vitro accelerated aging tests.

The paper shows that rotational dynamics in motor cortex can arise from sensory feedback, even without recurrent connections, and are also present in somatosensory cortex and feedback signals.

A robotic inserter threads flexible thin-film polymer electrodes into cortex one at a time with a stiff needle, steering around visible vessels; demonstrated in rat somatosensory cortex.
