Abstract
A method for discovering neurogenic drugs is revealed. The method allows for systematic screening of test agents such as libraries of compounds. The method consists of exposing test agents to cultures of differentiating neural progenitor cells and measuring their effects on increasing the overall cell number and/or the number of neurons.
