Implantable nerve electrodes are a crucial neuro-engineering device that can play a pivotal role in the treatment of various neurological disorders. As the fundamental unit of the nervous system, neurons possess the capability to generate electrical signals, which serve as the primary means of information transmission. Implantable neural electrodes have the capacity to intercept and record these electrical signals, thereby providing invaluable insights into understanding nervous system functionality. Furthermore, these electrodes enable precise modulation of neural activity through targeted delivery of pulses to neurons. Surgical implantation of these electrodes within the nervous system allows for simulation or inhibition of neural signals with therapeutic objectives in mind. This article comprehensively reviews the significance and application of implantable neural electrodes in neuro-engineering while highlighting their immense potential in enhancing patients’ quality of life across diverse neurological conditions With further research and technological improvements, we can expect implantable neural electrodes to play an even greater role in improving the quality of life of patients, treating neurological diseases, and advancing neuroscience.
