Summary: A newly invented soft, implantable probe can interface between gut and brain tissue, measuring both dopamine and serotonin levels. The device has applications for depression, Parkinson’s disease, and intestinal disorders.

Imbalances in brain chemistry are at the heart of many neurologic diseases. These same brain chemicals also play roles in gut health. So, scientists at Stanford have invented “NeuroString”—a soft implantable probe that can interface seamlessly with both brain and gut tissue.

I guess that we can try reaching out the scientists at Stanford to see if they know of any doctors who could try to use this device to determine if patients with PSSD have some noticeable difference in the neurotransmitters that it measures.
