Carbon-based Electrochemical Sensors for Neurotransmitter Detection: A review
Journal Title: Nanomedicine & Nanotechnology Open Access - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Neurotransmitter release and uptake dynamics such as Dopamine (DA) in the nucleus accumbens (Nac) in the mesolimbic pathway, dorsal striatum in the nigrostriatal pathway and prefrontal cortex in the mesocortical pathway have important implications for neurological and psychiatric disorders. A complete understanding of these diseases requires real-time monitoring of dynamic changes in neurotransmitter (NT) levels. This mini-review highlights the recent progress in the development of carbon-based electrochemical sensors for NT detection.
