Outline

We are going to realize a high speed and high resolution novel image sensor chip which visualize neurotransmitters without optical label. This image sensor system is capable of taking a movie of several kinds of neurotransmitters release from a synapse. The sensor also catches release and collection of neurotransmitters in a cellular tissue simultaneously. We will establish real time observation system for spatiotemporal analysis of cerebral function in this project.
