Chemical analysis of single cells is an area of great interest in the biological and medical sciences. Knowledge of the chemical composition and dynamics of single nerve cells should lead to better models of the cellular neurotransmission process. Information of this type promises to advance our knowledge of neurotransmitter storage, exocytosis, and the physiological effects of external stimuli, such as drugs and toxins. Advances in these areas require the development of analytical methods capable of monitoring neurotransmitter dynamics at the single-cell and subcellular levels.
