A wireless IC for time-share chemical and electrical neural recording

Neurons communicate both electrically and chemically. Extensive effort has been directed at monitoring these signals in awake animals to investigate the neural basis of behavior. While various measurement strategies have been employed in the past, electrophysiology (EPHYS) for single-unit recording and voltammetry for neurotransmitter sensing are established as the two best methods for probing neurotransmission at microscopic scales in real time.
