Popis: Electrophysiology and optogenetics are pivotal in neuroscience for probing and modulating neural activities, playing a vital role in unraveling the complexities of brain functionality. Despite their importance, the efficacy of existing devices is hampered by insufficient functional integration, pronounced foreign body reactions, and physical constraints that impede natural animal behaviors. Here, we develop a multifunctional, ultraflexible neural probe designed for simultaneous electrophysiological monitoring and optical neural modulation, along with mechanical properties that are conducive to flexibility and compliance. By integrating a wireless neural signal acquisition and stimulation circuit, we achieved wireless recording of brain signals in mice and wireless optogenetic control over their locomotor behavior. The multifunctional ultraflexible probe presented in this study holds substantial promise for closed-loop brain-machine interfaces and deepening our understanding of neural circuit functions. This innovative approach addresses the aforementioned limitations by a comprehensive solution for in vivo neural interrogation and manipulation, marking a significant advancement in the tools available for neuroscience research.
