CHARACTERIZATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF MICROELECTRODE ARRAYS FOR GLUTAMATE MEASUREMENTS IN THE RAT HIPPOCAMPUS

An overarching goal of the Gerhardt laboratory is the development of an implantable neural device that allows for long-term glutamate recordings in the hippocampus. Proper L-glutamate regulation is essential for hippocampal function, while glutamate dysregulation is implicated in many neurodegenerat...
