Outline of Final Research Achievements

An electrical platform, based on TFT electrode array, was developed. It allows optical observation as well as electrical stimulation and sensing of neurons cells cultured on top of the device. An Arduino control system was developed in order to control the microelectrodes array and to program them for sensing, or to apply stimulation signal. It allows also scanning of the array, to obtain a 2D mapping of the cells culture electrical activity. At the same time, the platform was interfaced with a Central Pattern Generator (CPG) to realize a more biologically plausible stimulation of neurons and to investigate the interactions between artificial and biological entities. That platform was applied to several types of cells culture in order to enlarge the field of expertise of our group: cortical neurons, brain organoids and cardiomyocyte cells. Two new research projects have been built based on the results.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

The platform is the only existing tool for optical and electrical analyze of mix cells culture network of electrogenic cells (neurons, cardiomyocyte, muscle cells), at mesoscale. It will be used for fundamental understanding of communication in cells network, and investigation on related disease.
