The beautiful and complex brain machinery is perfectly synchronized, and our bodies
have evolved to protect it against a myriad of potential threats. Shielded physically
by the skull and chemically by the blood brain barrier, the brain processes internal
and external information so that we can efficiently relate to the world that surrounds
us while simultaneously and unconsciously controlling our vital functions. When coupled
with the brittle nature of its internal chemical and electric signals, the brain's
“armor” render accessing it a challenging and delicate endeavor that has historically
limited our understanding of its structural and neurochemical intricacies. In this
review, we briefly summarize the advancements made over the past 10 years to decode
the brain's neurochemistry and neuropharmacology in situ, at the site of interest
in the brain, with special focus on what we consider game-changing emerging technologies
(eg, genetically encoded indicators and electrochemical aptamer-based sensors) and
the challenges these must overcome before chronic, in situ chemosensing measurements
become routine.
