 IN-FET was conceived from the growing need for a paradigm shift, in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy and other brain disorders more in general. Several routes have been explored to **modulate** or **silence dysfunctional neural circuits**, through genetic, electrical, magnetic or optical means. All have serious limitations due to the __unphysiological__ mechanisms used to regulate neuronal activity.

 Throughout its trajectory, the IN-FET project will deliver for the first time a device that can **physiologically modulate the neuronal membrane potential**, the synaptic release probability, and glutamatergic NMDA receptors activation by altering potassium, calcium, and magnesium ionic concentrations in a controlled and spatially- confined manner. High-resolution simultaneous probing of cell activity will be performed by Si-nanowire vertical transistors, penetrating the membranes and detecting the cell electrical activity at unprecedented spatial and temporal resolutions. In conclusion, IN-FET's multidisciplinary consortium brings together state-of-the-art electrochemistry, 3-d nanofabrication, nanoelectronics, and numerical simulations, and combines neuronal biophysics to device modeling.

 IN-FET will thus ultimately establish the proof-of-principle for a breakthrough biocompatible neuromodulation technology, with a clear impact for future brain implants for epilepsy treatment, advancing neuroscience, biomedical microsystems engineering, and nano- neurotechnology.
