Calcium (Ca2+) plays an important role in neuronal signalling as messenger for signal transduction. Intracellular calcium concentration changes in response to cell excitation and can be recorded with a two photon microscope as a change of fluorescence. The aim of this thesis is to investigate calcium dynamics in human brain organoids, studying single cell and population activities to characterize neuronal network behavior.

Intracellular calcium concentration changes in response to cell excitation and can be recorded with a two photon microscope as a change of fluorescence.
