A probe insertion device for a neural probe structure with a plurality of probes to simultaneously insert the plurality of probes into a nerve includes a nerve holder to fix the nerve surrounding an outer circumference of the nerve, and a probe holder positioned outside in a radial direction of the nerve holder to fixedly support the probes surrounding a circumference of the nerve holder. The probe holder includes a plurality of sections ('probe holder sections') arranged radially with respect to the nerve holder and moveable in a radial direction of the nerve holder, and the plurality of probe holder sections simultaneously moves the plurality of probes toward the nerve holder having fixed the nerve, so that the plurality of probes is simultaneously inserted into the nerve in a radial shape when viewed in a lengthwise direction of the nerve.

Device for inserting neural probes

Provided is a neural probe array including a probe which is insertable into a nerve, the probe having a microchannel which induces the regeneration of the nerve, wherein an electrode is installed within the microchannel and is physically isolated from gliosis, and the microchannel is configured to receive a nerve growth factor for regenerating the nerve, and when the probe is inserted into the nerve, the electrode physically isolated from gliosis accomplishes neural signal acquisition and stimulation.

A body stimulating structure includes a body which is attached to an internal organ of a living body, and a magnetic field inductor formed in the body, wherein when power is supplied, the magnetic field inductor produces a magnetic field and applies magnetic stimulation to a target site of the internal organ of the living body to which the body is attached. A method for manufacturing the body stimulating structure includes: forming a first pattern on a first substrate and filling the first pattern with a conductor; stacking a second substrate on the first substrate; and forming a second pattern connected to the first pattern on the second substrate and filling the second pattern with a conductor.

Body stimulating structure comprising coil embedded therein

A neural probe structure includes a probe which is inserted into a living body, and a magnetic field inductor which is formed in the probe, wherein when a power source is supplied, the magnetic field inductor generates a magnetic field and applies magnetic stimulation to a target site of the living body into which the probe is inserted. A method for manufacturing the neural probe structure includes forming a first pattern on a first substrate and filling the first pattern with a conductor, stacking a second substrate on the first substrate, and forming a second pattern connected to the first pattern on the second substrate and filling the second pattern with a conductor, wherein the first substrate and the second substrate form the probe, and the conductor of the first pattern and the conductor of the second pattern form the magnetic field inductor.
