This method can help answer key questions in the field of neural engineering such as whether device implantation has implications for long-term motor function. The main advantage of this technique is that in contrast to endpoint histology, ongoing

We have shown that a microelectrode implantation in the motor cortex of rats causes immediate and lasting motor deficits. The methods proposed herein outline a microelectrode implantation surgery and three rodent behavioral tasks to elucidate potential changes in the fine or gross motor function due to implantation-caused damage to the motor cortex.
