After serotonin is pumped into the synapse, it is either taken up into the pre-synaptic neuron for later use or it is metabolized by an enzyme into 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA).
Here, an online intelligent monitoring system for indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) was proposed, including reusable microsensor, portable electrochemical workstation, and online cloud platform.
