          Abstract

          The authors would like to make the following changes to the published paper [1]: the ethic code in the last line of Section 2.8.1 (page 8) should be “IACUC 19-025”: “The experimental procedures and the care of the animals were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) of EwhaWomans University (IACUC 19-025).” The change does not affect the scientific results. The manuscript will be updated and the original version will remain online on the article webpage with a reference to this correction.

          Hemispherical Microelectrode Array for Ex Vivo Retinal Neural Recording

          To investigate the neuronal visual encoding process in the retina, researchers have performed in vitro and ex vivo electrophysiological experiments using animal retinal tissues. The microelectrode array (MEA) has become a key component in retinal experiments because it enables simultaneous neural recording from a population of retinal neurons. However, in most retinal experiments, it is inevitable that the retinal tissue is flattened on the planar MEA, becoming deformed from the original hemispherical shape. During the tissue deforming process, the retina is subjected to mechanical stress, which can induce abnormal physiological conditions. To overcome this problem, in this study, we propose a hemispherical MEA with a curvature that allows retinal tissues to adhere closely to electrodes without tissue deformation. The electrode array is fabricated by stretching a thin, flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) electrode layer onto a hemispherical substrate. To form micro patterns of electrodes, laser processing is employed instead of conventional thin-film microfabrication processes. The feasibility for neural recording from retinal tissues using this array is shown by conducting ex vivo retinal experiments. We anticipate that the proposed techniques for hemispherical MEAs can be utilized not only for ex vivo retinal studies but also for various flexible electronics.
