Researchers Synthesize Fluorescent Molecularly Imprinted Polymer Nanoparticles to Detect Neurotransmitters in the Brain and Study their Role in Brain Activity.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that play a vital role in brain activity. They are responsible for regulating a wide range of processes, including mood, memory, and learning. However, studying the role of neurotransmitters in the brain has been a challenge due to the difficulty of detecting them in the brain. Now, researchers have developed a new method to detect neurotransmitters in the brain using fluorescent molecularly imprinted polymer nanoparticles (MIPNs).MIPNs are tiny particles that can be used to detect specific molecules in a sample. They are made up of a
