Topic: chemical neuroprostheses

Electrical-based neuroprostheses reported promising clinical outcomes for the treatment of neurological disorders. Nevertheless, they suffer from low spatial resolution and lack of natural neurotransmission specificity that require alternative bio-mimetic stimulation strategies. Chemical-based neuroprostheses would represent a promising option to emulate the physiological synaptic communication by providing localized delivery of neurotransmitters. While various drug delivery approaches have been investigated, an efficient neurotransmitter-based neuronal stimulation at the nanoscale still remai
