This book provides an overview of the different ways in which the “nano-world” can be benefi cial for neuroscientists. The volume encompasses the latest developments in the fi eld of micro- and nanotechnology applied to neuroscience, discussing technological approaches applied to both in vitro and in vivo experiments. A variety of different nanotechnologies are presented that include nanostructured electrodes and their electrical, mechanical, and biochemical properties, active and passive 2D and 3D multielectrode arrays (MEAs), nanoscale transistors for subcellular recordings, and an overview on methods, tools, and applications in optogenetics.
