High-density, Identified Cell Recordings from Motor Cortex of Awake Behaving Macaques using 1024-channel SiNAPS-NHP Probes.

Summary: Scientists have built a tiny, powerful new tool to listen to the brain. Usually, it is hard to record signals from many brain cells at once in monkeys. Old tools could only listen to a few cells in one spot. This new tool is a super-thin probe with over 1,000 tiny sensors. It can be safely placed into the monkey's brain to track how individual cells fire while the monkey moves. This helps researchers understand the brain better and is a big step forward for brain science.
