This paper introduces a bioelectronic implant for recording neural activity in the distal colon of freely-moving rats, demonstrating its ability to capture electrophysiological responses and colonic activity related to food intake and stress.

Targeted closed-loop electrical stimulation prevents epileptic network spread and improves long-term spatial memory in rodent models of progressive hippocampal epilepsy.

The paper identifies a transient quiescent period in early postnatal development that precedes the emergence of mature cortical dynamics in mice and humans.
