Seeing is believing : A direct, selective, and sensitive strategy for colorimetric visualization of cerebral dopamine has been developed for the first time using gold nanoparticles through the design of double molecular recognition (see picture). The simplicity of this method establishes a facile and reliable approach for monitoring cerebral species in brain chemistry, which may be related to physiological and pathological events.
