cathode
electrode from which conventional current leaves a polarized electrical device
silver electrode
electrode in the form of foil, mesh, wire, rod, tube, powder, pellets, or single crystal of silver
stent-electrode recording array
small stent-mounted electrode array that is permanently implanted into a blood vessel in the brain without the need for open brain surgery
