description This paper proposes a compact bioelectronics sensing platform, including a multi-channel electrode, intracranial electroencephalogram (iEEG) recorder, adjustable galvanometer, and shunt-current conduction circuit pathway. The developed implantable electrode made of polyurethane-insulated stainless-steel materials is capable of recording iEEG signals and shunt-current conduction. The electrochemical impedance of the conduction, ground/reference, and working electrode were characterized in phosphate buffer saline solution, revealing in vitro results of 517.2 Ω@1 kHz (length of 0.1 mm, diameter of 0.8 mm), 1.374 kΩ@1 kHz (length of 0.3 mm, diameter of 0.1 mm), and 3.188 kΩ@1 kHz (length of 0.1 mm, diameter of 0.1 mm), respectively. On-bench measurement of the system revealed that the input noise of the system is less than 2 μVrms, the signal frequency bandwidth range is 1 Hz~10 kHz, and the shunt-current detection range is 0.1~3000 μA with an accuracy of above 99.985%. The electrode was implanted in the CA1 region of the right hippocampus of rats for the in vivo experiments. Kainic acid (KA)-induced seizures were detected through iEEG monitoring, and the induced shunt-current was successfully measured and conducted out of the brain through the designed circuit-body path, which verifies the potential of current conduction for the treatment of epilepsy.
