A prominent neurotransmitter (NT), dopamine (DA), is a chemical messenger that transmits
signals between one neuron to the next to pass on a signal to and from the central nervous …

Chemical signaling through the release of neurotransmitters into the extracellular space is
the primary means of communication between neurons. More than four decades ago, Ralph …

Understanding how activity patterns in specific neural circuits coordinate an animal's
behavior remains a key area of neuroscience research. Genetic tools and a brain of …

Microelectrodes are typically used for neurotransmitter detection, but nanoelectrodes are not
because there is a trade-off between spatial resolution and sensitivity that is dependent on …

The role of serotonin in human brain function remains elusive due, at least in part, to our
inability to measure rapidly the local concentration of this neurotransmitter. We used fast …

Functional synapses in the central nervous system depend on a chemical signal exchange
process that involves neurotransmitter delivery between neurons and receptor cells in the …

Serotonin is a neuromodulator implicated in depression that is often measured in real-time
by fast-scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV). A specialized “Jackson” waveform (JW, 0.2, 1.0 V …

Small, robust, sensitive electrodes are desired for in vivo neurotransmitter measurements.
Carbon nanopipettes have been previously manufactured and used for single-cell drug …

Serotonin modulates various physiological processes and behaviors. This study investigates
the role of 5‐HT in locomotion and feeding behaviors as well as in modulation of sensory …

Depression is a common mental illness. However, its current treatments, like selective
serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and micro-dosing ketamine, are extremely variable …
