Abstract
In this study we have successfully implanted an inorganic device consisting of titania microtubes in the brain of a wistar rat. Biocompatibility was established as shown by the fact that there were no perturbations on the surrounding tissue over a period of six months. An immunohistochemical study also showed that there were no alterations in the neighboring neurons over the six-month duration of the study.
