Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adfm201470278-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>On page 6594, polymer fibers are designed by P. Anikeeva and co‐workers to mimic fibrous geometry of the nerves allow simultaneous optical stimulation and neural recording in the spinal cord. The cover picture illustrates the flexibility of the bifunctional neural probes and their ability to accommodate deformation due to the movement of vertebrae. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh2cn0r83f" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
