Abstract-We propose and validated a design for a highly selective "endcap" regenerative neural interface towards a neuroprosthesis. In vitro studies using rat cortical neurons determine if a branching microchannel structure can counter fasciculated growth and cause neurites to separate from one another, allowing for greater selective contact. Initial studies find that narrower branching microchannels achieve improved neurite separation. Electrical stimulation of neurites within microchannels is possible, as is recording of neurite action potentials with the microchannels acting as electrical signal amplifiers.Index Terms-Neural interface, tissue engineering, regenerative electrode, bidirectional communication interface.
