New Technologies to Investigate Neuropeptides at Scale.

ABSTRACT

Neuropeptides are some of the most elusive molecules to monitor in neuroscience. Detecting their release and spread in brain tissue requires the development and use of advanced technologies that enable specific neuropeptide measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution. This Viewpoint highlights some of the emerging tools and techniques that are already advancing our knowledge of neuropeptide physiology and discusses possible future developments.
