Advanced MEAs, such as in vitro CMO-based HDMEAs, are popular due to their capabilities. However, in vitro MEAs have limitations. They lack the high spatial resolution needed for stimulating and recording single cells, making them less suitable than dynamic clamp and patch clamp systems. Furthermore, MEA implantation, particularly chronic implantation, can result in biological responses like a decrease in functioning electrodes, glial scarring, and neuronal cell loss. These responses depend on factors such as MEA shank sizes, inter-shank distances, material composition, and implantation duration. Despite these challenges, MEAs remain a valuable tool for neuroscience research.
