Can nanofluidic chemical release enable fast, high resolution neurotransmitter-based neurostimulation? by Peter D Jones, Martin eStelzle

“…Nanofluidic technology — rather than microfluidic — will be necessary; this should come as no surprise given the nanofluidic nature of neurotransmission.This perspective reviews the state of the art of high resolution electrical neuroprostheses and their anticipated limitations. Chemical release rates from nanopores are compared to rates achieved at synapses and with iontophoresis. …”
