Abstract
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for screening and/or identifying compounds exhibiting biological activity on neurons. The invention also relates to the isolation and culture of neurons, methods of inducing pathological conditions to said isolated neurons, as well as kits for implementing said methods. The invention can be used in experimental research, drug discovery, drug development, and the like. More particularly, the invention can be used to identify and/or characterize and/or improve compounds which are active on neurons and can be used for treating disorders of the nervous system.
