Multimodal Nano-Brain-Machine-Interface for Parallel Electrochemical NeuroSignal Sensing

Poustinchi M., Stacey G., Musallam S., McGill University, Neural Prosthetics Laboratory, CA

Thanks to technological advancements in recent decades, outstanding progress has been made in the field of neuroscience and neural engineering. Although the information processing in the brain is mostly done through neuron’s electrical activities, there [...]

Real-time detection of neurotransmitter using enzyme-immobilized CNT network transistors in 11 vessel occlusion rat model

Lee G.J., Lim J.E., Park H.J., Park H.K., Park J.H., Eo Y.H., Kim B.S., Park H.J., Park H.K., Park J.H., Choi S.K., Hong S., Park H.J., Park H.K., Park J.H., Kyung Hee University, KR

The field effect transistor (FET) made of carbon nanotube (CNT) can be used as sensor due to their extreme sensitivity to local chemical environments. Glutamate is the principal excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain, and its [...]

An Integrated Transport Model for Tracking of Individual Exocytotic Events Using a Microelectrode

Fan T.H., Fedorov A.G., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

A complex biophysical process underlying the release of neurotransmitters and hormones from the secretion cells, known as a vesicular exocytosis, is an important mechanism that defines cell signaling and intercellular communication. This phenomenon has been [...]
