Neural Module

The Neural Module is an advanced software suite designed for use with Axion's Maestro devices to evaluate neural network behavior in vitro. Offering tools for measuring simple activities like mean firing rates to complex phenomena such as well-wide network bursts and synchrony quantification, it transforms complex data into understandable results.

Key Features:

• Visualize neural activity with spatiotemporal maps in real time.
• Detect spiking with high-resolution from individual electrodes.
• Monitor local field potentials to observe slow-wave activity and network behavior.
• Integrated stimulation to evoke responses and analyze functional connectivity.

With the updated AxIS Analysis, users can visualize, analyze, and organize neural data efficiently. Features like side-by-side raster plots, interactive heat maps, PCA plots, and customizable metric sets provide comprehensive insights into neural network activity.

This software is tailored to assist in modeling diseases, drug screening, and fundamental neuroscience studies, allowing researchers to uncover meaningful patterns, identify phenotypic signatures, and make high-impact discoveries.

Additional Features:

• Multiwell raster plots for visualizing spike timing and analysis parameters.
• Customizable metric sets to focus on specific neural activity metrics.
• Instant results plotting for easy comparison across different wells, conditions, or time points.
• Multivariate analysis to reveal complex relationships within the data.

The Neural Module supports a variety of applications such as examining neural networks in diseases like Alzheimer's, ALS, and autism spectrum disorders, and exploring neural development using iPSC organoids. It is effective in characterizing neuroactive properties of compounds and analyzing responses to stimuli in neural cultures.
