Development of optoneuroelectronics device and its function and applications

Research Project Outline

We have succeeded in the development of incubation type ionchannel biosensor, which can measure precisely the ionchannel currents passing through the post synaptic membrane. In this research, we are going to form the neural network in the ionchannel biosensor and measure the memory and learning function of the network by inducing the action potential using laser irradiations. Furthermore, we are going to make the device multichannel type by using the top level nanofabrication technique, and develop the high through put screening device, which is useful for the analysis and drag discovery with the neurodegenerative diseases and also for unveiling of the higher order function of brain.
