    • The invention pertains generally to the field of psychotropic drug discovery and neuroscience. More specifically, the invention refers to a device that allows the long-term stimulation of cultured neurons grown on a silicon die, thereby replacing the use of intact animal models. The device consists of a controlled sterile environment in which the neuronal cultures can grow, and into which specific candidate compounds (e.g., psychotropic drugs) are added. During the period of growth, which can be extended for months, specifically tailored patterned activity can be applied to the neuronal network, simulating the activity normally found in a brain. The neuronal networks are grown on a silicon surface which is targeted by a light source, which functions to alter the connectivity of the surface below a specific group of cells. Cells on this targeted region are caused to fire on a brief electrical pulse. Upon completion of the growth period the silicon die can be removed and subject to electrophysiological and biochemical analysis.
    • 本发明一般涉及精神药物发现和神经科学领域。 更具体地,本发明涉及允许长期刺激在硅片上生长的培养神经元的装置,从而替代完整动物模型的使用。 该装置由受控的无菌环境组成,其中神经元培养物可以生长,并且加入特定候选化合物(例如,精神药物)。 在可以延长数月的生长期间,可以将具体定制的图案化活动应用于神经元网络,模拟大脑中通常发现的活动。 神经元网络在由光源靶向的硅表面上生长,其功能是改变表面在特定组的细胞下的连通性。 使该目标区域上的细胞以短暂的电脉冲发射。 在生长周期完成后,可以去除硅晶片,进行电生理和生物化学分析。
