Transistors tune in: The chromogranin A (CgA) released from the synaptic terminal of cortical neurons can be detected in situ by immobilization of an antibody against CgA on a single‐walled carbon‐nanotube field‐effect transistor (see picture), to give a device with high selectivity, sensitivity, and real‐time detection capability. This biosensory technique can be used to study the activity of individual living neurons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
