Summary:

Dose-dependent alterations in firing rate, bursting and synchrony metrics are observed in iPSC-derived human neuron/glia (NeuCyte SynFire®) and rat primary cultures when tested by GABAA receptor antagonists, organotin, and pyrethroid insecticides. These results demonstrate the utility of SynFire neurons and multielectrode arrays for functional neurotoxicity screening.
