“…In contrast to chronic electrical stimulation in neural prostheses where cell or tissue excitability can be related to charge injection and strength-duration curves, hypotheses to explain the novel acute application of bionic array based electric field focusing underlying electroporation based gene delivery (Browne et al, 2016; Housley et al, 2016; Abed et al, 2018) are less established; naked plasmid DNA electrotransfer appears less dependent on membrane pore formation and resealing, than processes of endocytosis (Escoffre et al, 2011). However, both modalities share the premise that efficacy is tied to the strength of the electric field at the target cell or tissue.…”

“…Cochlear implants can be considered one of the most clinically successful neuroprostheses, with more than 500,000 devices implanted to aid in the restoration of functional hearing in patients. Electroporation facilitated transfection of neurotrophic factors is a methodology that could allow for improving the efficacy of electrical stimulation in cochlear implants (O’Leary et al, 2009; Pinyon et al, 2014, 2019; Browne et al, 2016; Housley et al, 2016; Abed et al, 2018). Even though the model was developed with electroporation as the primary application in this paper, the inclusion of anatomically realistic geometry and EIS-based electrode-electrolyte model makes it well suited to predict electric potentials and fields generated by shorter pulses typically used in cochlear implants for electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve.…”

“…This provides efficient gene electrotransfer at significantly lower voltages than that required for conventional electroporation. In doing so, the production of recombinant neurotrophins by a relatively small group of these mescenchymal cells was shown to stimulate outgrowth of the auditory nerve fibres into close proximity with the cochlear implant electrodes, thereby closing the neural gap and functionally improving the interface with the cochlear implant array as anticipated Housley et al, 2016;Pinyon et al, 2018;Pinyon et al, 2014).…”
