By the end of this decade, many experts predict, the current method of making microcircuits — done by shining high - frequency light through stencil templates to etch connections onto a semiconductor chip — will have reached its physical limits, with individual elements bottoming out at something like one - fifth the size of today's best.

This approach — which has only recently been developed and employed in the field — allowed researchers to induce the formation of these specialized microcircuits with synchronous behavior in the lab.

However, the diversification of this platform into applications other than microcircuits and visible light cameras has been impeded by the difficulty to combine semiconductors other than silicon with CMOS.

Future studies investigating how neural signals change in response to microstimulation (and how these changes vary with the precise targeting of the stimulating electrode) will be critical for increasing our understanding, not only of the physiological signatures of microstimulation, but also the microcircuit dynamics underlying memory.

In addition to the interesting implications for our understanding of microcircuit dynamics of memory, this paves the way to developing new avenues that could one day be used for treating patients with chronic memory impairment.

It has been a longstanding hypothesis that alterations in the microcircuit of the prefrontal cortex and / or in its connectivity with the rest of the brain may be at the core of many of these disorders.
