Micro-endovascular (MEV) probe selectively implanted into a curved branch for neural recording across the blood vessel wall. The MEV probe (yellow), which is designed to curve into branched (vs. straight) blood vessels, is selectively injected into the branched vessel by saline flow through the microcatheter (cyan) in which it was preloaded.
