Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are provided for delivering chemical and electrical stimulation across one or more neural circuits. The systems, devices, and methods can also be used for sensing and recording specific neural activity. In certain embodiments, a system includes first and second fluid reservoirs, a manifold, and a delivery tube. The manifold may include first and second chambers therein. The first chamber may be in fluid communication with the first reservoir, and the second chamber may be in fluid communication with the second reservoir. The delivery tube may include a first conduit in fluid communication with the first chamber, a second conduit in fluid communication with the second chamber, and a third conduit configured to house an electrode therein. In this manner, a distal tip of the delivery tube is configured to be positionable adjacent to the one or more neural circuits for providing chemical and electrical stimulation thereto.
