We designed the microdevice to mimic the architecture of a brain nucleus receiving 2–4 different inputs from other brain regions (Fig. 1a). The device has five chambers — four outer chambers and one large inner chamber (Figs. 1b,c). Outer and inner chambers are connected through a series of microchannels.
