  • Architectures and Methods for Electrochemical Neuromodulation
    Publication number: 20220381723
    Abstract: A prosthetic device includes a closed loop system for maintaining a predetermined concentration of a target ion in a region in proximity to a cell, such as a nerve cell. The device includes a controller and an ion-selective electrode assembly operatively connected to the controller, wherein the ion-selective electrode configuration is configured to sense the concentration of the target ion by potentiometric measurement and to convey the concentration to the controller. The controller is configured to modulate the current to the ion-selective electrode assembly based on the concentration of the target ion to control the concentration of the target ion so as to maintain the predetermined concentration of the target ion.
