Drug-induced seizure activities depending on the ratio of excitatory/inhibitory neurons in cultured human iPSC-derived neurons. This study aimed to examine the feature of spontaneous firings and the drug-induced seizure activities depending on the ratio of excitatory/inhibitory neurons in human iPSC-derived neurons. hiPSC-derived cortical neurons, in which the ratio of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons are from 8:2 to 2:8 were cultured on MEA chips, and the spontaneous firings and pharmacological responses of convulsants were...
