Dilation of the oropharynx via selective stimulation of the hypoglossal nerve.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Penetrating cortical neural probe technologies allow investigators to record electrical signals in the brain. Implantation of probes results in acute tissue damage, and microglia density increases around implanted devices over weeks.
