Monitoring spontaneous electrical activity in cultured neural networks using vertically aligned nanotube arrays

Abstract: We present the electrical monitoring of cultured living neural cells using vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNT) as an extracellular electrode material in a microelectrode array (MEA). The carbon nanotubes are grown using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) resulting in 3-18 µ µ µ µm long nanotubes with diameters of 10-40 nm.

“…28 Although MEAs have become useful research implements, they are distant from being optimized for durable implantation. While several results have been found for MEAS preparation through CVD, Plasma-enhanced CVD represents a better-quality and reachable method for CNT growth, requiring a high vacuum and temperature system, along with the assistance provided by an electric field allowing vertical alignment of CNTs.…”
