Fig. 6From: Electrophoretic deposition of ligand-free platinum nanoparticles on neural electrodes affects their impedance in vitro and in vivo with no negative effect on reactive gliosisNeuronal count (a) and fluorescence intensity of the glial scar (b), measured around the electrode’s contact site 5 weeks after implantation for the different coated (nanoparticles smaller than 10 nm; 50 nm and mixture of both) electrodes and the uncoated (NoNP) group. Data are given as means + SEM. Photomicrographs (c) showing the neurons marked with NeuN (green) and the astrogliosis marked with GFAP (red) near the contact area of an electrode from the mix-sized groupBack to article page
