In retinal prosthesis, electrical pulses are typically delivered to the retinal neurons via electrodes on the surface of the implant. In this work, we fabricated 3D carbon pillar electrodes by pyrolysis of SU-8 structures defined photolithographically on Si wafers. We then measured compound action potentials induced in porcine neuroretinas stimulated with electrical pulses. The recorded spikes were validated to be biological in origin by adding the voltage-gated sodium-channel blocking agent tetrodotoxin. The minimum threshold voltage needed to effectively stimulate retinal cells, such as retinal ganglion cells, with 3D electrodes was analyzed through systematic investigation of the spike rate and amplitudes as a function of stimulation voltage. 3D electrodes significantly increased spike rate and amplitudes above spontaneous activity in the tissue during stimulation and outperformed the 2D counterpart, both in terms of spike rate and amplitude. Our results indicate a threshold voltage range of 500-600 mV for 1 ms pulses at a frequency of 10 Hz above which a significant increase in spike count was observed. Furthermore, we report an order of magnitude increase in peak-to-peak amplitude for evoked spikes (&gt; 3 mV), compared to spontaneous spikes (\u223c 200 \u00b5V). Based on numerical integration, we estimate the area under the curve to be ~14 times larger in evoked compound action potentials compared to spontaneous activity. This indicates the relative increase in number of contributing cells to the compound action potential. At a stimulation voltage of 600 mV the spike rate for 3D electrodes was above 10 spikes\/channel\/s. We hypothesize that the significant difference between 2D and 3D electrodes is not only caused by the higher active electrode surface area of the 3D micropillar electrodes, but also by more intricate contact and interaction with the inner cell layers of the retinal tissue. Our findings indicate that 3D carbon micropillar electrodes are promising for electrical stimulation of the retina.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10544-024-00729-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T21:49:45Z","timestamp":1739310585000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Electrical stimulation of neuroretinas with 3D pyrolytic carbon electrodes"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Pratik","family":"Kusumanchi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jesper Guldsmed","family":"Madsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toke","family":"Bek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephan Sylvest","family":"Keller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rasmus Schmidt","family":"Davidsen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"729_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"7042","DOI":"10.1002\/adfm.201400812","volume":"24","author":"L Amato","year":"2014","unstructured":"L.
