Respiratory Neuroengineering

Neurostimulation

Rat primary motor cortex with an implanted microelectrode array (MEA). The MEA is visible as a shadow in the center of the image. Cell-type specific antibodies show the locations of microglia/macrophages (Iba1, red), oligodendrocytes (RIP, cyan), and astrocytes (GFAP, yellow) in this optical section. The scale bar is 200 µm.
