dc.description.abstract | This dissertation is a summary of the research on integrated closed-loop deep brain stimulation for treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder of the central nervous system affecting more than three million people in the United States. Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) is one of the most effective treatments of Parkinson’s symptoms. DBS excites the Subthalamic Nucleus (STN) with a high frequency electrical signal. The proposed device is a single-chip closed-loop DBS (CDBS) system. Closed-loop feedback of sensed neural activity promises better control and optimization of stimulation parameters than with open-loop devices. Thanks to a novel architecture, the prototype system incorporates more functionality yet consumes less power and area compared to other systems. Eight front-end low-noise neural amplifiers (LNAs) are multiplexed to a single high-dynamic-range logarithmic, pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC). To save area and power consumption, a high dynamic-range log ADC is used, making analog automatic gain control unnecessary. The redundant 1.5b architecture relaxes the requirements for the comparator accuracy and comparator reference voltage accuracy. Instead of an analog filter, an on-chip digital filter separates the low frequency neural field potential signal from the neural spike energy. An on-chip controller generates stimulation patterns to control the 64 on-chip current-steering DACs. The 64 DACs are formed as a cascade of a single shared 2-bit coarse current DAC and 64 individual bi-directional 4-bit fine DACs. The coarse/fine configuration saves die area since the MSB devices tend to be large. Real-time neural activity was recorded with the prototype device connected to microprobes that were chronically implanted in two Long Evans rats. The recorded in-vivo signal clearly shows neural spikes of 10.2 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as well as a periodic artifact from neural stimulation. The recorded neural information has been analyzed with single unit sorting and principal component analysis (PCA). The PCA scattering plots from multi-layers of cortex represent diverse information from either single or multiple neural sources. The single-unit neural sorting analysis along with PCA verifies the feasibility of the implantable CDBS device for to in-vivo neural recording interface applications. | en_US |
