Organoid electrophysiology is providing pharmaceutical and biotech companies with human-relevant models for testing drug efficacy, modeling diseases, and reducing reliance on animal studies, ultimately accelerating the development of safer and more effective therapeutics.
The integration of behavioral telemetry and organoid research is transforming neuroscience and biomedical science by linking cellular models with complex biological behaviors.
Organoid technology is poised to revolutionize the development of brain-controlled prosthetics. By bridging the gap between the body’s central nervous system and a synthetic device, research with neural organoids could lead to the development of prosthetics capable of real-time interaction with the human brain through closed-loop feedback systems. Multielectrode array technology (also called “microelectrode array” or “MEA”) from Multi Channel Systems is ideally suited for studying this complex interaction and developing innovations in prosthetic research.
Unlike traditional MEA recordings that can only measure field potentials, the IntraCell uses a laser to precisely optoporate cardiomyocytes underneath each electrode.

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.
Microelectrode arrays – also known as “multielectrode arrays” or MEAs – are powerful tools used in neuroscience, cardiac research, and pharmacology to study the electrical activity of excitable tissues like neurons and cardiac cells. But what exactly is an MEA system, and how do they work?
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.
