Neuron stimulation experiments
Short answer
Although outside my direct area of expertise, there is quite a lot of literature on the topic. The trick often is to use the correct keywords. Key in "recording + stimulating + ensemble + neurons", or "Utah + neuron + implant". 

Background
There is quite some literature on this topic. For instance, a much used device in this arena is the Utah implant (Fig. 1), which can be used to record and also stimulate neurons (e.g., Nordhausen et al. (1994)). It has 100 penetrating electrodes and is even used in humans. There are also other approaches, e.g. by implanting a bunch of microwires (e.g., Nocolelis et al (1997)). In scientific jargon, the recording of multiple neurons simultaneously is often referred to as 'ensemble recording' (Nicolelis, 2008).
