Summary: We propose to develop a neural interface based on carbon nanotube (CNT) yarns with a size similar to large axons (10 µm) that has a mechanical and molecular compatibility with the nerve. The mechanical properties of the interface will be optimized by matching flexural rigidity of the implant to that of the glossopharyngeal nerve (GLN). Since the wire is very flexible, a custom-inserting technique has been developed for this purpose and tested in rats. Following insertion, the signal-to-noise ratio and impedance of the wires will be measured for 3 months. The biocompatibility of the implant will be assessed using histological techniques.
