New
generation of implantable microcoils proposed for localized spectroscopic
studies of NMR observable cerebral metabolites into 2mm3 region of interest
Latero Dorsal Tegumentum (LDT), aims at pushing limits of in vivo detection.
However microantenna active part introduction into the brain can generate
irreversible damage and inflammation that can distort spectroscopic
measurements. This longitudinal study was performed on two healthy cohorts of
implanted and control rat via MRI and confirmed by histopathology. The
results show brain tissue response against implantable NMR microcoil and
demonstrate the limited brain tissue reaction associated to the chronic
microcoils implantion.
