Researchers employ a variety of electrophysiological techniques to investigate the electrical activity of organoids. Key techniques include patch clamp electrophysiology, microelectrode arrays (MEAs), and optogenetics, each of which offer unique advantages for studying the functional properties of organoids.
According to a recent study published by The Lancet Neurology with contributions from the World Health Organization (WHO), neurological conditions such as, dementia, epilepsy, stroke, and migraine affect more than three billion people worldwide, making these conditions the leading cause of illness and disability globally. Despite advances in neuroscience research, many of these conditions do not have fully effective treatments, making the development of innovative therapies a pressing need.
Harvard Bioscience is gearing up to showcase its latest innovations at the Society for Neuroscience (SfN) 2024 meeting, happening from October 5-9 in Chicago, IL.
