The neurotrophic electrode is an intracortical device designed to read the electrical signals that the brain uses to process information. It consists of a small, hollow glass cone attached to several electrically conductive gold wires. The term neurotrophic means "relating to the nutrition and maintenance of nerve tissue" and the device gets its name from the fact that it is coated with Matrigel and nerve growth factor to encourage the expansion of neurites through its tip. It was invented by neurologist Dr. Philip Kennedy and was successfully implanted for the first time in a human patient in 1996 by neurosurgeon Roy Bakay.

- O elétrodo neurotrófico é um dispositivo intracortical projetado para ler os sinais elétricos que o cérebro usa para processar a informação. É constituída por um pequeno cone de vidro oco, ligado a vários fios de ouro condutores elétricos. O termo neurotrófico significa "para a nutrição e manutenção do tecido nervoso" e o dispositivo recebe o seu nome do fato de que ele é revestido com Matrigel e fator de crescimento neural para encorajar a expansão de neurites através de sua ponta.
