TLDR
It is shown that the scalability of this platform, combined with its compatibility with silicon nanofabrication techniques, provides a clear path towards simultaneous, high-fidelity interfacing with hundreds of individual neurons.
Abstract
Arrays of vertical silicon nanowires can record and stimulate neuronal activity from within mammalian nerve cells, and can also map multiple individual synaptic connections between these cells.
