Active high-density electrode arrays realized with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology provide electrophysiological recordings from several thousands of closely spaced microelectrodes. This has drastically advanced the spatiotemporal recording resolution of conventional multielectrode arrays (MEAs). Thus, today's electrophysiology in neuronal cultures can exploit label-free electrical readouts from a large number of single neurons within the same network. This provides advanced capabilities to investigate the properties of self-assembling neuronal networks, to advance studies on neurotoxicity and neurodevelopmental alterations associated with human brain diseases, and to develop cell culture models for testing drug- or cell-based strategies for therapies.Here, after introducing the reader to this neurotechnology, we summarize the results of different recent studies demonstrating the potential of active high-density electrode arrays for experimental applications. We also discuss ongoing and possible future research directions that might allow for moving these platforms forward for screening applications. |
