Abstract (English)

This project will develop drug screening platforms for diseases of the nervous system based on the MEA technology platform. Its objectives are: a) development of multi-electrode arrays with design improvements that increase throughput and allow the measurement of specialized endpoints; a) creation of new in vitro disease models that represent a broader scope of human neurologic disorders; b) conception of new analysis strategies and software to facilitate the determination of specific molecular and cellular targets of disease-related changes in neuronal or neuromuscular activity; incorporation of the above biological models and strategies
