1. A microsurgical instrument, comprising:
an elongate member defining a longitudinal axis, and having proximal and distal ends, the elongate member configured for passage within a lumen of a subject, the elongate member including a biasing segment configured to at least partially engage an internal wall portion defining the lumen;
one or more electrodes configured to apply stimulation to a target neural structure within or adjacent the lumen;
one or more physiological sensors configured to emit a signal representative of physiological data of the target neural structure;
one or more connectors at the proximal end of the elongate member;
an array of microcircuits embedded along at least a portion of a length of the elongate member; and
at least one of one or more lead wires and one or more fibers connecting the array of microcircuits with (i) the one or more connectors at the proximal end of the elongate member and (ii) at least one of the one or more electrodes and the one or more physiological sensors at the distal end of the elongate member.
