Plant nanobionics approach to augment photosynthesis and biochemical sensing.
The interface between plant organelles and non-biological nanostructures has the potential to impart organelles with new and enhanced functions. Here, we show that single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) passively transport and irreversibly localize within the lipid envelope of extracted plant chloroplasts, promote over three times higher photosynthetic activity than that of controls, and enhanc...
متن کاملNeurotransmitter Imaging: Basic Concepts and Future Perspectives
Neurochemistry of human cognition remains uninvestigated because neuroimaging techniques have limited ability to detect neurochemical changes associated with cognitive processing. In recent years investigators have used molecular imaging to develop methods for detection, mapping and measurement of neurotransmitters released acutely during cognitive processing in the live human brain. Most of th...
متن کاملImaging neurotransmitter release by drugs of abuse.
Previous studies have shown that imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) radiotracers that are specific for brain dopamine receptors can be used to indirectly image the change in the levels of neurotransmitters within the brain. Most of the studies in addiction have focused on dopamine, since the dopamine neurons that project to the...

متن کاملInterpreting functional imaging studies in terms of neurotransmitter cycling.
Functional imaging experiments, in particular positron-emission tomography and functional magnetic resonance imaging, can be analyzed either in psychological terms or on the basis of neuroscience. In the usual psychological interpretation, stimulations are designed to activate specific mental processes identified by cognitive psychology, which are then localized by the signals in functional ima...
