Neuropixels Ultra Doubles Neuron Yield With 6-Micrometer Site Spacing
A Neuron paper describes Neuropixels Ultra, which packs 6,144 switchable recording sites at 6-micrometer center-to-center spacing while reading 384 channels simultaneously. In mouse visual cortex recordings, neuronal yield increased by more than twofold. The study also improved subcellular signal detection and cell-type classification, but it did not report simultaneous recording from 10,000 neurons.
