Our techniques
Gold-standard electrophysiology methods
Validated readouts of neuronal function, matched to your assay question and throughput.
Patch-Clamp
The gold standard for single-cell and single-channel resolution of ion-channel and synaptic activity.
Multi-Electrode Array (MEA)
Network-level extracellular recording of neuronal population activity over time.
High-Density MEA (HD-MEA)
Thousands of electrodes for high-resolution mapping of network dynamics and connectivity.
Calcium Imaging
Optical readout of neuronal activity across large cell populations with single-cell resolution.
Therapeutic areas
Focused on the hardest CNS and pain indications
We design electrophysiology studies around the biology of each indication, delivering evidence of mechanism of action, target engagement, and efficacy.

Frequently asked
Answers to common questions
What is Neuroservices-Alliance?
Neuroservices-Alliance is a specialized preclinical CRO focused exclusively on electrophysiology for central nervous system (CNS) and pain drug discovery, with laboratories in France and San Diego, California.
What does an electrophysiology CRO do?
We measure the electrical activity of neurons and other excitable cells to assess how a drug candidate affects the nervous system — providing evidence of mechanism of action, target engagement, and efficacy.
Which techniques do you offer?
Patch-clamp, multi-electrode array (MEA), high-density MEA, and calcium imaging, applied across cell, brain-slice, in vivo brain, and in vivo spinal cord platforms.
Which therapeutic areas do you focus on?
Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, chronic pain, ADHD, autism, and other CNS and pain indications.
