What are the parts of a neural probe called, from the tip in the brain to the computer?

The shank, the long narrow part that enters the tissue and carries the electrodes; the base, the wider part outside the brain that holds the electronics; the flex cable, a flexible printed circuit from the base to the headstage, a small board that powers the probe and relays its data; then a longer cable to the acquisition card and the computer. Neuropixels 1.0 has one shank, 10 mm long and 70 by 20 µm in section; its 2.0 version has four on one chip.
