Abstract: The construction of montmorillonite-modified carbon fiber electrode is reported. The modified electrode shows a good sensitivity and selectivity due to its accumulation to cations and inhabitation to anions. The detection limit of DAand 5-HTare 16×10-8 and 1×10-7 mol/L, respectively, which are more sensitive than Nafion modified electrode.In-vivo voltammetry, the electrode has directly detected the dramatic variation of DAconcentration in a rat brain with decreasing blood supply, while it effectively inhabits the oxidation of electroactive compounds and some neurotransmitter metabolites, such as AA, DOPAC, 5-HIAA.

Key words: Montmorillonite, Modified electrode, In-vivo detection, Neurotransmitter
