Solid-State Nanopores for Spatially Resolved Chemical Neuromodulation
A recent study from the project, published in Nano Letters, describes a planar neural interface that utilizes diffusion-driven neurotransmitter release through a solid-state nanopore array. To test its potential as a spatially resolved neural interface for stimulating neurons with glutamate, the scientists recorded rat retinal tissue on the MaxOne Single-Well HD-MEA. The results showed an increase in glutamate-evoked activity over time, with a clear-cut difference between cellslocated near the nanopores…
