Abstract:

A microcontact printing was developed that allows alignment and combination of different chemical patterns on a chip surface, which can be used to control the position of the neuron on top of the transducers. The aligned microcontact printing technique was used to deposit a pattern made from two different guidance cues. Researchers at IMEC have also developed an enzyme-based field-effect transistors (ENFET) for detection of glutamate to be integrated in a neuroelectronic system. Response curves showed highly sensitive detection of glutamate with detection limits in the tenths of micromoles range and good selectivity.
