Conventional invasive-type devices used in optogenetics have large diameters (width) of tens to hundreds of micrometers at the invasive part, causing tissue damage that affects recording. In this study, we fabricated and evaluated a multifunctional microtubule device that can simultaneously perform electrical, pharmacological, and optical measurements while reducing tissue damage. This presentation will focus on the fabrication of the device.
