TL;DR: A suite of electrophysiological tools comprising a miniaturized high-density probe, recoverable chronic implant fixtures, and algorithms for automatic post hoc motion correction are demonstrated, enabling an order-of-magnitude increase in the number of sites that can be recorded in small animals, such as mice, and the ability to record from them stably over long time scales.

TL;DR: The main tradeoff in neural probe design is between minimizing the probe dimensions and achieving high spatial resolution using large arrays of small recording sites.

TL;DR: A high electrode density and high channel count CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) active neural probe containing 1344 neuron sized recording pixels and 12 reference pixels, densely packed on a 50 µm thick, 100 µm wide, and 8 mm long shank.

TL;DR: A new probe variant and set of techniques that enable simultaneous recording from over 200 well-isolated cortical single units in human participants during intraoperative neurosurgical procedures using silicon Neuropixels probes are described and could reveal insights underlying human cognition and pathology.

TL;DR: This paper presents a 384-channel configurable active neural probe for high-density recording which implements in situ buffering under each electrode to minimize the crosstalk between adjacent metal lines along the shank and other parasitic effects inherent to traditional passive probes.
