    Abstract

    Amperometric polymer/enzyme composite (PEC) biosensors, incorporating a poly(o-phenylenediamine) ultra-thin permselective barrier, possess a variety of characteristics that make them suitable for monitoring brain energy and neurotransmitter dynamics in vivo. This review highlights PEC sensitivity and selectivity parameters, which allow development of the basic design in a systematic way in order to improve their performance and to diversify the analyte range of these novel probes of brain function.
