Figure 1

Electrophysiological characterization of cortical neuron cultures on MEAs. (a) Photograph of a 60 electrode MEA device used in the study. (b) Phase-contrast image of cortical neurons in culture at DIV 14. The distance between electrodes is 200 µm. Each black dot corresponds to one of the recording electrodes. (c) Sample traces of spontaneous electrical activity recorded by three channels. Electrical events, spikes and bursts, that crossed a threshold (horizontal black line) were recorded. (d) Spontaneous activity of cortical neurons was analyzed according to electrophysiological features of spikes, bursts, synchrony, and connectivity. The figure was created using MC_Rack 4.6 (https://www.multichannelsystems.com/software/mc-rack) (c) and Microsoft PowerPoint 365 (https://www.microsoft.com/powerpoint) (d).
