Neuronal Activity Monitor Service
Neuronal Activity Monitor provides real‑time, quantitative analysis of neuronal function across in vitro cultures, brain slices, and 3D neural models. It integrates calcium imaging, MEA electrophysiology, and fluorescence recording to capture firing dynamics, network bursts, calcium transients, and synaptic responses, supporting reliable evaluation of neural development, connectivity, and drug‑induced responses.
Key Advantages
- Multimodal monitoring: Combines calcium imaging, electrophysiology, and functional fluorescence readouts.
- High spatiotemporal resolution: Captures single‑cell activity and global network dynamics.
- Longitudinal tracking: Supports stable, long‑term recording for chronic activity analysis.
- Sparse labeling compatibility: Enables clear morphological and functional profiling.
- Automated quantification: Delivers unbiased analysis of spikes, bursts, and calcium signals.
Typical Applications
- Assessment of neuronal maturation and network formation
- Functional evaluation of 2D/3D neuronal models
- Drug screening and neurotoxicity testing
- Analysis of synaptic transmission and plasticity
- Disease model characterization using iPSC‑derived neurons

Case Study
Researchers analyzed the firing dynamics of hundreds of tracked neurons during postnatal development. They performed long‑term calcium imaging in mice from P7 to P14 and tracked individual neurons daily. They quantified calcium event rate, pairwise correlation, spatial correlation distribution, and activity dimensionality.
They found that neuronal activity gradually became less synchronous and more independent, with higher firing rates and increased activity dimension. Longitudinal monitoring allowed reliable functional profiling of single neurons across development.

FAQs
Q1: What is the primary advantage of using voltage indicators over calcium imaging?
A: While calcium imaging is highly sensitive and scalable, voltage indicators provide a direct readout of membrane potential, allowing for the resolution of individual action potentials at high frequencies.
Q2: Can you monitor activity in 3D brain organoids?
A: Yes, Creative Biolabs has optimized protocols for light-sheet microscopy to monitor neuronal activity deep within 3D brain spheroids and organoids.
Q3: How do you ensure the stability of tracking in long-term studies?
A: We utilize advanced sequential image registration (such as Track2p) to track individual neurons even as the tissue undergoes structural remodeling.
Q4: Is the service compatible with optogenetic manipulation?
A: Yes. We offer integrated optogenetic actuators for precise optical control during simultaneous activity monitoring.
Q5: What level of data analysis is provided in the final report?
A: We provide all-side analysis, including raw traces, frequency/amplitude metrics, and network connectivity maps suitable for regulatory filings.
