In vitro neuronal models hold tremendous promise for studying nervous system diseases. Researchers use human-derived neural cell cultures to gain insight into neuronal function in human health and disease. However, evaluating, characterizing, and validating the activity of cultured neurons over time can be challenging and time consuming. 

Download this application note from Sartorius to learn how researchers use the latest automated live-cell imaging technology and assays to visualize and quantify the activity of neuronal cell cultures and gain deeper insight into the characteristics of these cell populations.
