The brain continuously receives, integrates, and responds to an influx of sensory signals emerging from the internal organs. This is mediated not only through direct neuronal connections defined by the peripheral nervous system, but also endocrine, humoral, metabolic, and immune pathways. Despite being predominantly imperceptible, the complex brain-body cross-talk is essential to maintaining physiological homeostasis. Moreover, it is increasingly recognized to play a critical role in cognitive and behavioral functions as well as in disorders of the nervous system. The functional and anatomical diversity of brain-body pathways necessitates the development of multifunctional implantable neurotechnologies that can facilitate causal studies during behavior. Although ubiquitous in studies of brain function, electrical, optical, and chemical interrogation of organ-brain circuits remains a challenge. In this review, we discuss recent developments in multifunctional implantable neurotechnologies, highlighting material selection, device architectures, integration challenges, and power and data transfer approaches necessary to establish robust bioelectronic interfaces to brain and peripheral organs suitable for long-term studies of brain-body signaling.
大脑持续接收、整合并响应来自内脏的大量感觉信号。这不仅通过外周神经系统定义的直接神经元连接介导,还通过内分泌、体液、代谢和免疫途径介导。尽管这种复杂的脑-体交互作用大多难以察觉,但对于维持生理稳态至关重要。此外,人们越来越认识到它在认知和行为功能以及神经系统疾病中起着关键作用。脑-体通路的功能和解剖学多样性需要开发多功能可植入神经技术,以便在行为过程中促进因果研究。尽管在脑功能研究中很普遍,但对器官-脑回路进行电学、光学和化学检测仍然是一个挑战。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了多功能可植入神经技术的最新进展,重点介绍了材料选择、设备架构、整合挑战以及建立适用于脑-体信号长期研究的强大脑和外周器官生物电子接口所需的电源和数据传输方法。
