Bone tissue engineering aims to develop biomaterials that are capable of effectively repairing and regenerating damaged bone tissue. Among the various polymers used in this field, polycaprolactone (PCL) is one of the most widely utilized. As a biocompatible polymer, PCL is easy to fabricate, cost-effective, and offers consistent quality control, making it a popular choice for biomedical applications.

Article Synopsis
  • Functional mapping during brain surgery identifies critical brain areas that can't be removed, but traditional methods are time-consuming and less precise.
  • A new technology, the iEEG-microdisplay, integrates LED arrays with electrode grids to provide real-time brain activity visualization during surgery.
  • Experiments in animal models show that this device can clearly display cortical functions and pathological activities, helping improve surgical outcomes and monitoring in clinical settings.

Brain surgeries are among the most delicate clinical procedures and must be performed with the most technologically robust and advanced tools. When such surgical procedures are performed in functionally critical regions of the brain, functional mapping is applied as a standard practice that involves direct coordinated interactions between the neurosurgeon and the clinical neurology electrophysiology team. However, information flow during these interactions is commonly verbal as well as time consuming which in turn increases the duration and cost of the surgery, possibly compromising the patient outcomes.

Background And Purpose: The insula has important functions in monitoring and integrating physiological responses to a personal experience of multimodal input. The experience of chills in response to auditory stimuli is an important example for a relevant arousing experience coupled with bodily response. A group study about altered chill experiences in patients with insula lesions is lacking.
