Deep Dive: Electrophysiological Techniques for Organoid Research

Organoid research is revolutionizing our understanding of human biology by providing three-dimensional, physiologically relevant models of human tissues. Key techniques include patch clamp electrophysiology, microelectrode arrays (MEAs), and optical manipulation, each of which unique advantages for studying the functional properties of organoids.

What is an MEA (multielectrode array or microelectrode array)?

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?
