Mapping neural dynamics in brain circuits with anatomical structures spanning several millimeters, however, remains challenging. Here, we demonstrate the first CMOS neural probe for mapping intracortical neural dynamics (both LFPs and spikes) in awake, behaving mice from an area >4 mm2. By taking advantage of the modularity of our SiNAPS technology, we realized an eight shanks probe with 1024 electrode channels arranged on each shank in regular arrays with an electrode pitch <30 μm. Low-noise recordings from all electrodes at 20 kHz/channel demonstrate a field of view spanning the 2D lattice of the entire mice hippocampal circuit, together with cortical and thalamic regions. This arrangement allows combining large population unit recording across distributed networks with precise intra- and interlaminar/nuclear mapping of the oscillatory dynamics.
