Harvard Bioengineers Develop Soft, Flexible Neural Implants to Understand Brain Development and Behavior

Bioengineering researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a soft, thin, stretchable bioelectronic device that can be implanted into a tadpole embryo’s brain and record electrical activity with no impact on normal tadpole embryo development or behavior. This novel device could help researchers better understand and treat diseases that manifest in early brain development.
