Extracellular potassium concentration affects the membrane potential of neurons, and, thus,
neuronal activity. Indeed, alterations of potassium levels can be related to neurological …

Potassium ion (K+) concentration fluctuates in various biological processes. A number of K+
probes have been developed to monitor such fluctuations through optical imaging. However …

We synthesized a water-soluble, long-wavelength K+ sensor, TAC-Red, consisting of
triazacryptand coupled to 3, 6-bis (dimethylamino) xanthylium, whose fluorescence …

Regulation of sodium flux across the cell membrane plays a vital role in the generation of
action potentials and regulation of membrane excitability in cells such as cardiomyocytes …

To have a profound understanding of the physiological and pathological processes in a
brain, both chemical and electrical signals need to be recorded, but this is still very …

We present an electrode, based on structurally controlled nanowires, as a first step towards
developing a useful nanostructured device for neurophysiological measurements in vivo …

Highlights•Nanofabrication is capable of patterning devices at the same length-scales as
cellular components (ie 10 s of nanometers).•Nanoscale devices can be used to measure …

Herein, we present an electrochemophysiological microarray (ECPM) for real‐time mapping
and simultaneous quantification of chemical signals for multiple ions in the deep brain of a …

Success in the projects aimed at providing an advanced understanding of the brain is
directly predicated on making critical advances in nanotechnology. This Perspective …

Semiconductor nanowires configured as the active channels of field-effect transistors (FETs)
have been used as detectors for high-resolution electrical recording from single live cells …
