Background:

In vitro models require 3D microenvironments for high-fidelity neuronal activity monitoring.
Existing models often lack the complex cellular and structural cues of the native brain.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a 3D neural network platform that recapitulates the brain's microenvironment.
To integrate decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) hydrogels with flexible electrodes for advanced neural monitoring.

Main Methods:

Constructed a multilayer 3D neural network using porcine brain dECM hydrogels and multichannel electrodes.
Cultured primary rat neurons and hiPSC-derived neurons within the dECM hydrogels.
Performed real-time electrophysiological recordings and chemical stimulation of the 3D neural networks.

Main Results:

dECM hydrogels promoted neurite outgrowth and neural connectivity, forming functional 3D networks within 3 weeks.
The platform supported independent monitoring of each layer and signal capture throughout the 3D volume.
Observed synchronized bursting activity across all layers upon chemical stimulation.

Conclusions:

The electronic brain biochip provides a scalable 'electronic organoid' platform for studying neuronal dynamics and neuropharmacology.
This approach upcycles biological waste into valuable neural scaffolds, advancing artificial brain models.
Represents a significant step towards bridging engineered neural tissues and functional neurobiology.
