Abstract
Multielectrode arrays enable the detection of spontaneous cellular network activity, which can be utilized for the characterization of a neuronal culture. Here, we describe the detection of spontaneous neuronal activity in iPSC-derived cortical neurons using a 24-well plate for a multiwall-MEA system.
