An organic electronic device capable of precisely delivering neurotransmitters in vitro and in vivo is demonstrated. The device mimics the nerve synapse by converting electronic addressing in the delivery of neurotransmitters, thereby enabling exact dosage determination through electrochemical relationships. The system also ensures minimally disruptive delivery by avoiding fluid flow, and provides simple on–off switching.
