Synaptrode: neural interfacing at the synapse level
The synaptoprobe is a novel concept probe that could reshape the brain research paradigm for neuroscientists everywhere. The synaptoprobe is designed to make stable and specific connections with pretedermined subpopulations of neurons. Conceptually the synaptoprobe utilizes the unique properties of synaptogenic proteins, immobilized onto electrode surfaces by means of a hydrogel scaffold.
