Objective: To assess transcranial sonography (TCS) as stand-alone tool and in combination with microelectrode recordings (MER) as a method for the postoperative localization of deep brain stimulation (DBS) electrodes in the subthalamic nucleus (STN).
Methods: Individual dorsal and ventral boundaries of STN (n = 12) were determined on intraoperative MER. Postoperatively, a standardized TCS protocol was applied to measure medio-lateral, anterior-posterior and rostro-caudal electrode position using visualized reference structures (midline, substantia nigra). TCS and combined TCS-MER data were validated using fusion-imaging and clinical outcome data.
Results: Test-retest reliability of standard TCS measures of electrode position was excellent. Computed tomography and TCS measures of distance between distal electrode contact and midline agreed well (Pearson correlation; r = 0.86; p < 0.001). Comparing our "gold standard" of rostro-caudal electrode localization relative to STN boundaries, i.e. combining MRI-based stereotaxy and MER data, with the combination of TCS and MER data, the measures differed by 0.32 ± 0.87 (range, -1.35 to 1.25) mm. Combined TCS-MER data identified the clinically preferred electrode contacts for STN-DBS with high accuracy (Coheńs kappa, 0.86).
Conclusions: Combined TCS-MER data allow for exact localization of STN-DBS electrodes.
Significance: Our method provides a new option for monitoring of STN-DBS electrode location and guidance of DBS programming in Parkinson's disease.

The integration of flexible electronics and photonics has the potential to create revolutionary technologies, yet it has been challenging to marry electronic and photonic components on a single polymer device, especially through high-volume manufacturing. Here, we present a robust, chiplet-level heterogeneous integration of polymer-based circuits (CHIP), where several post-fabricated, ultrathin, polymer electronic, and optoelectronic chiplets are vertically bonded into one single chip at room temperature and then shaped into application-specific form factors with monolithic Input/Output (I/O). As a demonstration, we applied this process and developed a flexible 3D-integrated optrode with high-density arrays of microelectrodes for electrical recording and micro light-emitting diodes (μLEDs) for optogenetic stimulation while with unprecedented integration of additional temperature sensors for bio-safe operations and shielding designs for optoelectronic artifact prevention.

Microelectrode array (MEA) techniques provide a powerful method for exploration of neural network dynamics. A critical challenge is to interface 3D neural tissues including neural organoids with the flat MEAs surface, as it is essential to place neurons near to the electrodes for recording weak extracellular signals of neurons. To enhance performance of MEAs, most research have focused on improving their surface treatment, while little attention has been given to improve the tissue-MEA interactions from the medium side.

Background: Hemorrhage is a dangerous complication of deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery, but a comprehensive explanation of the associated risk factors remains inconclusive, particularly application of microelectrode recording (MER) compared to macrostimulation (non-MER) based DBS procedures. We conducted a comparative analysis of MER and macrostimulation techniques, evaluating the impact of brain penetrations by microelectrode guiding cannulas on the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhagic events.
Methods: This retrospective study included all DBS procedures (MER-based and non-MER based) performed at a single medical center from November 2008 to June 2023.
