Abstract

Neurochemical recordings based on electrochemical reactions of electroactive neurotransmitters (e.g., dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine) are used for highly-sensitive monitoring of neurotransmitters in the brain. While single-channel carbon-fiber microelectrode recordings have been the gold standard method, a microelectrode array can be used to capture high spatiotemporal resolution imaging of electroactive neurotransmitters. To enable neurochemical imaging from a microelectrode array, a high-density current-sensing microchip must be developed to amplify and process redox signals. Here, a neurochemical microchip with a 128-ch current sensing front-end to support 128 parallel neurochemical measurements is presented. The designed amplifier array uses a highly scalable resistive feedback transimpedance amplifier design to provide a large neurochemical dynamic range (± 5 μA) with low noise performance (0.22 nARMs). This microchip will enable in vivo neurochemical imaging of dopamine with high spatiotemporal resolution.
