SUMMARY:Mapping the human brain with high spatiotemporal resolution - Prof

DESCRIPTION:Electrophysiological recordings are the gold standard for inte
 rrogating the nervous system for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. Such
  recordings with microelectrode arrays enable broadband and high spatiotem
 poral resolution but are conventionally limited to a small cortical covera
 ge. However\, large cortical coverage together with the high spatiotempora
 l resolution are needed to advance our understanding of diseased and norma
 l brain function to be able to develop effective therapies. This talk will
  cover the development and clinical translation of UCSD's multi-thousand c
 hannel platinum nanorod microelectrode arrays to map the human brain. We w
 ill discuss considerations in the electrode-tissue interface for recording
  and stimulation and demonstrate mapping of functional units across specie
 s including humans. Examples of large-scale microelectrode mapping of moto
 r\, language and epileptogenic discharges from the human brain will be pre
 sented along with a perspective on future directions.
