      Voltage imaging and “all-optical electrophysiology” in human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neurons have opened unprecedented opportunities for high-throughput phenotyping of activity in neurons possessing ...
    • Multimodal monitoring of human cortical organoids implanted in mice reveal functional connection with visual cortex 

      Wilson, Madison N.; Thunemann, Martin; Liu, Xin; Lu, Yichen; Puppo, Francesca; Adams, Jason W.; Kim, Jeong-Hoon; Ramezani, Mehrdad; Pizzo, Donald P.; Djurovic, Srdjan; Andreassen, Ole; Mansour, Abed AlFatah; Gage, Fred H.; Muotri, Alysson R.; Devor, Anna; Kuzum, Duygu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Human cortical organoids, three-dimensional neuronal cultures, are emerging as powerful tools to study brain development and dysfunction. However, whether organoids can functionally connect to a sensory network in vivo has ...
