Description

Nuclear magnetic compatible nerve electrical stimulation-electrical recording system and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medical appliances, and particularly relates to a nuclear magnetic compatible nerve electrical stimulation-electrical recording system and a preparation method thereof.
Background
With the continuous development of brain science and the rising of brain plans of various countries, scientists have conducted intensive studies on brain working mechanisms, pathogenesis and diagnosis and treatment means, and effective detection of multi-scale signals in the brain through various means is the basis for developing the studies.
Currently, neural activity observers of different temporal spatial resolutions including implantable neural electrodes, cortical electroencephalography, positron emission computed tomography, and functional magnetic resonance imaging have been developed. However, a single means cannot achieve high time and spatial resolution at the same time, and it is difficult to obtain a correlation mechanism of various signals, so that comprehensive explanation and judgment of brain diseases are affected. In order to solve the above problems, researchers combine different-scale neural activity observation means and develop a multi-mode neural activity detection technology, wherein the development of a functional nuclear magnetism-electroencephalogram combined technology is mature, but the two detection technologies covering the whole brain still cannot achieve higher spatial resolution. The combination of functional magnetic resonance imaging technology with implanted nerve electrodes can solve the problem, and the functional activity of the whole brain can be observed while the specific brain region is subjected to electric stimulation/electric signal recording.
The traditional implanted nerve electrode can generate serious nuclear magnetic artifacts due to electromagnetic interaction in a nuclear magnetic environment to destroy nuclear magnetic resonance images, so that normal observation of brain region activities of an implanted part is influenced. Researchers have developed nuclear magnetic compatible neural electrodes based on metal alloys, carbon materials, and others. On one hand, because the magnetic susceptibility of the used materials still has a large difference with that of human tissues, the generated artifacts still affect the integrity of the whole brain imaging; on the other hand, the developed electrode only realizes simultaneous electrical stimulation on the brain in the nuclear magnetic environment, and does not realize the closed loop of electrical stimulation-electrophysiological recording in the nuclear magnetic environment, but the closed loop system has pioneering significance for researching the special response of a specific brain area to the electrical stimulation, and the intervention, diagnosis and treatment and pathogenesis of diseases such as epilepsy, autism and the like. Therefore, the preparation of the multi-mode nerve activity monitoring system which can perform closed-loop electric stimulation-electrophysiological recording on a specific brain region and can perform functional nuclear magnetic resonance imaging at the same time to obtain a complete brain region moving image without artifacts is a technical problem to be solved.
