title: Ultrafast detection and quantification of brain signaling molecules with carbon fiber microelectrodes.
abstract: Carbon fiber microelectrodes provide the ideal platform for performing ultrafast, selective measurements of electroactive brain molecules. This article highlights the current status of the use of carbon fiber microelectrodes in neurochemical measurements, outlining the most cutting edge findings and technological advances in amperometry and fast-scan cyclic voltammetry.
