Responsive manipulation of neural circuit pathology by fully implantable, front-end multiplexed embedded neuroelectronics.

ABSTRACT: Responsive neurostimulation is increasingly required to probe neural circuit function and treat neuropsychiatric disorders. We introduce a multiplex-then-amplify (MTA) scheme that, in contrast to current approaches (which necessitate an equal number of amplifiers as number of channels), only requires one amplifier per multiplexer, significantly reducing the number of components and the size of electronics in multichannel acquisition systems. It also enables simultaneous stimulation of arbitrary waveforms on multiple independent channels. We validated the function of MTA by developing a fully implantable, responsive embedded system that merges the ability to acquire individual neural action potentials using conformable conducting polymer-based electrodes with real-time onboard processing, low-latency arbitrary waveform stimulation, and local data storage within a miniaturized physical footprint. We verified established responsive neurostimulation protocols and developed a network intervention to suppress pathological coupling between the hippocampus and cortex during interictal epileptiform discharges. The MTA design enables effective, self-contained, chronic neural network manipulation with translational relevance to the treatment of neuropsychiatric disease.

Project description:PurposeMedical school curricula have focused more on early clinical exposure with compressed didactic curricula, raising questions on how pathology can be effectively integrated into clinically relevant medical education. This study highlights how a required 1-week pathology rotation embedded within a surgery clerkship can impact students' knowledge base and perspectives of pathology.MethodsOne hundred ninety-two medical students rotated through a newly designed mandatory 1-week pathology rotation during surgery clerkship. Post-rotation feedback and survey data from students were collected to evaluate their perspectives of pathology. Pathology residents and faculty were surveyed about changes on workflow imposed by the new rotation.ResultsEighty percent of student respondents agreed the rotation improved understanding of pathology workflow and its integration into the larger picture of healthcare delivery. 62% and 66% reported the rotation had a positive impact on their perspectives of pathology and pathologists, respectively. However, a significant number pathology resident respondents noted that integration of students into clinical activities either slightly (42%) or significantly (5%) decreased their own learning. Both pathology faculty and residents also noted medical student presence either slightly (19% and 37%, respectively) or significantly (63% and 58%, respectively) decreased workflow efficiency.ConclusionsIntegration of pathology rotations into surgical clerkships is a viable strategy to remedy decreased pathology contact and education due to curricular restructuring that condenses preclinical time while offering medical students a more integrated and practical perspective of pathology as a field. It is essential for pathology departments to prioritize and actively participate in both preclinical and clinical curricular development.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s40670-022-01569-y.
