Electrochemical biosensors provide powerful tools for dissecting the dynamically changing neurochemical signals in the living brain, which contribute to the insight into the physiological and pathological processes of the brain, due to their high spatial and temporal resolutions. Recent advances in the integration of in vivo electrochemical sensors with cross-disciplinary advances have reinvigorated the development of in vivo sensors with even better performance. In this Review, we summarize the recent advances in molecular design, electrode materials, and electrochemical devices for in vivo electrochemical sensors from molecular to macroscopic dimensions, highlighting the methods to obtain high performance for fulfilling the requirements for determination in the complex brain through flexible and smart design of molecules, materials, and devices. Also, we look forward to the development of next-generation in vivo electrochemical biosensors.

Endothelial damage, astrogliosis, microgliosis, and neuronal degeneration are the most common events after spinal cord injury (SCI). Studies highlighted that studying the spatiotemporal profile of these events might provide a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of SCI. For imaging of these events, available conventional techniques such as 2-dimensional histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are well established and frequently used to visualize and detect the altered expression of the protein of interest involved in these events. However, the technique requires the physical sectioning of the tissue, and results are also open to misinterpretation. Currently, researchers are focusing more attention toward the advanced tools for imaging the spinal cord’s various physiological and pathological parameters. The tools include two-photon imaging, light sheet fluorescence microscopy, in vivo imaging system with fluorescent probes, and in vivo chemical and fluorescent protein-expressing viral-tracers. These techniques outperform the limitations associated with conventional techniques in various aspects, such as optical sectioning of tissue, 3D reconstructed imaging, and imaging of particular planes of interest. In addition to this, these techniques are minimally invasive and less time-consuming. In this review, we will discuss the various advanced imaging methodologies that will evolve in the future to explore the fundamental mechanisms after SCI.

“…To unravel the causal relationships between neural circuit activity and brain function, it is necessary to simultaneously record and manipulate the activity of specific types of neurons in the brain. Over the past few years, a variety of multifunctional neural probes with integrated recording and stimulating units have been developed [13][14][15][16] . Multifunctional neural probes provide a powerful platform to simultaneously monitor the activities of neurons and their responses to well-controlled stimuli [17][18][19] .…”

Neural probes are among the most widely applied tools for studying neural circuit functions and treating neurological disorders. Given the complexity of the nervous system, it is highly desirable to monitor and modulate neural activities simultaneously at the cellular scale. In this review, we provide an overview of recent developments in multifunctional neural probes that allow simultaneous neural activity recording and modulation through different modalities, including chemical, electrical, and optical stimulation. We will focus on the material and structural design of multifunctional neural probes and their interfaces with neural tissues. Finally, future challenges and prospects of multifunctional neural probes will be discussed.
