Dissecting the Catecholamines: How New Approaches Will Facilitate the Distinction between Noradrenergic and Dopaminergic Systems

ACS Chem Neurosci. 2019 Apr 17;10(4):1872-1874. doi: 10.1021/acschemneuro.9b00157. Epub 2019 Mar 28.

Abstract

To overcome the limitations of fast scan cyclic voltammetry (FSCV) to discriminate between catecholamines, we discuss new approaches to monitor the dynamics of these neurochemicals with high spatial, genetic, and temporal specificity.

Keywords: Catecholamines; FSCV; neurochemistry.
