The amyloid peptides Aβ 40 and Aβ 42 of Alzheimer's disease are thought to contribute
differentially to the disease process. Although Aβ 42 seems more pathogenic than Aβ 40 , the …

Neural probes have become the most important tool for enabling neuroscientists to place
microelectrode sensors close to individual neurons and to monitor their activity in vivo. With …

The use of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) in sensorics is relatively new. Although
electronic noses, electronic textiles and disposable biochemical sensors appear to be viable …

In this letter, we demonstrate that organic-based transistors are able to detect charged/uncharged
chemical species in aqueous media via the field effect. The chemical sensitivity of the …

Interfacing neurons with micro- and nano-electronic devices has been a subject of intense
study over the last decade. One of the major problems in assembling efficient neuro-electronic …

In this paper we propose a simple device and a method for pH monitoring, using an organic
thin-film transistor as transducer. Such organic transducers may show potential advantages …

Missense mutations in alanine 673 of the amyloid precursor protein (APP), which corresponds
to the second alanine of the amyloid β (Aβ) sequence, have dramatic impact on the risk …

In this paper we report the use of Ta 2 O 5 as gate dielectric material for organic thin-film
transistors. Ta 2 O 5 has already attracted a lot of attention as insulating material for VLSI …

To cope with the growing needs in research towards the understanding of cellular function
and network dynamics, advanced micro-electrode arrays (MEAs) based on integrated …

The establishment of neuronal connectivity depends on the correct initial polarization of the
young neurons. In vivo, developing neurons sense a multitude of inputs and a great number …
