Development of an implantable multielectrode sensor for serotonin detection in the brain to study neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Description
This project proposes to develop an implantable multielectrode sensor capable of detecting serotonin from multiple brain regions simultaneously, capturing both fast and slow concentration changes over weeks. Such a sensor will enable the study of the specific implications of different 5-HT dynamics in neurological and psychiatric disorders, improving diagnosis and treatments.
