Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon nanotube substrates boost neuronal electrical signaling.
Viviana Lovat,Davide Pantarotto,Laura Lagostena,Barbara Cacciari,Micaela Grandolfo,Massimo Righi,Giampiero Spalluto,Maurizio Prato,Laura Ballerini +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the growth of neuronal circuits on a CNT grid is accompanied by a significant increase in network activity, and the increase in the efficacy of neural signal transmission may be related to the specific properties of CNT materials, such as the high electrical conductivity.
