Chemical synapses are tiny and overcrowded environments enriched with thousands of protein species. Many efforts have been devoted to developing sensors and actuators able to evaluate and control synaptic communication. Most of these recent tools are based on the engineering of one or more specific synaptic proteins used to target active moieties to ...
