Direct‐Print 3D Electrodes for Large‐Scale, High‐Density, and Customizable Neural Interfaces by Pingyu Wang, Eric G. Wu, Hasan Uluşan, Eric Tianjiao Zhao, A.J. Phillips, Alexandra Kling, Madeline Rose Hays, Praful Krishna Vasireddy, Sasidhar Madugula, Ramandeep Vilkhu, Andreas Hierlemann, Guosong Hong, E.J. Chichilnisky, Nicholas A. Melosh

“…The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated in tackling the critical challenge of interfacing with the retina—specifically, selectively targeting retinal ganglion cell (RGC) somas while avoiding the axon bundle layer. 6,600‐microelectrode, 35 µm pitch, tissue‐penetrating arrays are fabricated to obtain high‐fidelity, high‐resolution, and large‐scale retinal recording that reveals little axonal interference, a capability previously undemonstrated. …”
